The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam in 7mm-08 Remington is a bolt-action rifle built around youth and smaller-framed adult shooters. The adjustable length of pull, 12" to 13", lets the stock grow with the shooter rather than requiring a replacement stock later.

Detailed Features 

The 20-inch barrel is fluted, which removes some weight and improves heat dissipation during sustained fire. The adjustable LBA trigger can be tuned to the shooter's preferred pull weight. Weaver-style bases are installed from the factory, so adding a scope requires no additional gunsmithing. 
 
7mm-08 Remington is a practical choice for this platform: it generates noticeably less recoil than .308 Win while retaining enough down-range energy for deer-sized game, which suits new or recoil-sensitive hunters well. The drop-box magazine holds 5 rounds with one additional in the chamber.

The Patriot Super Bantam 7mm-08 draws positive feedback from parents introducing younger hunters to bolt-action rifles. The adjustable LOP is consistently cited as the standout feature. The ability to move from 12" to 13" means the rifle remains comfortable as a child grows without buying a second gun.

The 7mm-08 caliber earns praise for its manageable recoil and effectiveness on deer and similar game, making it a sensible first hunting cartridge. Build quality and overall appearance receive generally favorable marks, and the price is often described as reasonable for a youth-oriented hunting rifle.

The most common criticisms are weight and trigger feel. At 7.50 lbs. some smaller shooters find the rifle tiring during extended field carries. The factory LBA trigger is adequate for most, but some owners report upgrading it for a cleaner break. Scope mounting options beyond the included Weaver bases are occasionally flagged as limited, and first-time setup of the adjustable LOP can require some effort to dial in correctly.
