Detailed Features 

 
The MDT stock adjusts length of pull by up to .75" and cheekrest height by up to 2", which lets you fit the rifle to your body without aftermarket modifications. Aluminum V-block bedding locks the action into the stock and maintains consistent contact under recoil. The medium bull barrel is threaded 5/8"-24 tpi for suppressors or muzzle brakes. A top-mounted Picatinny rail with 20 MOA built-in elevation supports long-range optic configurations. The LBA trigger is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 lbs pull weight. 
 
At 9.4 lbs, this rifle is built for accuracy, not portability. That weight is a deliberate trade-off -- it helps stabilize the platform and manages 6.5 PRC recoil effectively, but becomes a factor on long mountain hunts. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

1. Long-Range Hunting: 6.5 PRC is well-suited for elk and deer at extended distances where the cartridge's flat trajectory and retained energy pay off. 
2. Precision Competition: The adjustable trigger, MDT stock, and 20 MOA rail are purpose-built for precision rifle matches. 
3. Range Sessions: The 7+1 capacity, adjustable fit, and stable bull barrel make extended practice sessions productive.

The Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical in 6.5 PRC FDE draws positive reviews from hunters and precision shooters who prioritize accuracy over pack weight.

Accuracy and out-of-the-box performance are the primary positives. Owners report the rifle shoots well without significant break-in or adjustment, which is a practical advantage for buyers who don't want to invest immediately in modifications. The 6.5 PRC caliber gets consistent praise for its flat trajectory and long-range effectiveness. The FDE finish looks good and provides some practical camouflage value in certain environments.

The adjustable MDT stock is appreciated by shooters who want to dial in fit without gunsmithing. The LBA trigger adjustability is mentioned as a useful feature.

The weight is the most common criticism. At 9.4 lbs before optics, this rifle is a bench and competition gun first, and a field rifle for hunters who are willing to manage the extra mass. Some owners mention stock adjustments requiring more effort than expected, and trigger feel draws the occasional note about needing fine-tuning for individual preference. Overall sentiment is positive among the intended audience.
