Mossberg Patriot 25-06 Rem 22-inch Walnut

If you’re looking for a bolt-action rifle that balances classic looks with honest field performance, the Mossberg Patriot 25-06 Rem 22-inch Walnut is a solid choice that won’t break the bank. This full-size rifle brings together a traditional walnut fixed stock and a fluted 22-inch barrel, all built around the long-range 25-06 Remington chambering. It ships with a Weaver-style scope base and an adjustable LBA trigger, so you’re set up for accurate shooting right out of the box. Per Mossberg specs, this Patriot model is designed for hunters and shooters who want reliable cycling and consistent accuracy without overcomplicating things.

Key Features

• Fluted 22-inch Barrel with Recessed Crown – The fluting reduces weight and helps the barrel cool faster between shots, while the recessed crown protects the muzzle and promotes consistent bullet release. That means you get better accuracy string after string.
• Adjustable LBA (Light Bolt Action) Trigger – You can dial the pull weight to your preference, typically from 2 to 7 pounds. It’s crisp and clean, which helps you shoot tighter groups without fighting a heavy trigger.
• Classic Walnut Fixed Stock – The satin-finished walnut gives the rifle a timeless look and a warm, solid feel in the hands. It’s also durable enough for years of use in the field.
• Weaver-Style Scope Base Included – No need to buy extra bases. It comes with a two-piece base that fits most standard Weaver-style rings, so you can mount your optic quickly.
• Matte Blued Metal Finish – The matte finish cuts down on glare that could spook game, and it resists rust and wear better than a high-polish blue. It’s a practical choice for all-weather hunting.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a reliable, accurate bolt gun in a flat-shooting caliber like 25-06 Remington. It’s a great fit for deer, antelope, and varmint hunting where shots can stretch out past 300 yards. New shooters will appreciate the adjustable trigger and lightweight design, while seasoned hunters will like the traditional walnut stock and straightforward action. If you’re looking for a do-it-all rifle without spending a fortune, this Patriot is worth a close look.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Lightweight at roughly 6.5 lbs; adjustable trigger for a custom feel; fluted barrel helps with heat dissipation; includes scope base; traditional walnut stock looks great; reliable bolt cycling; affordable price point.
• Cons: The walnut stock is fixed, so you can’t adjust the comb height or length of pull. The factory trigger, while adjustable, may need a little tweaking out of the box to get the pull weight you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the barrel twist rate on the Mossberg Patriot 25-06?

The Mossberg Patriot in 25-06 Remington has a 1:10-inch twist rate. That twist stabilizes the common bullet weights for this caliber, from 100 to 120 grains, which covers most hunting and varmint loads.

Does the Mossberg Patriot 25-06 come with iron sights?

No, this model does not include iron sights. It comes with a Weaver-style scope base installed, so you’ll need to mount a scope or a red dot to aim effectively. Most shooters pair it with a 3-9x or 4-12x scope for hunting.

Is the Mossberg Patriot 25-06 a good choice for a beginner hunter?

Yes, it is. The 25-06 Remington has mild recoil compared to larger magnums, and the rifle’s light weight makes it easy to carry all day. The adjustable trigger lets a new shooter set a comfortable pull weight, and the bolt action is simple to operate and maintain.

What scope rings fit the Mossberg Patriot 25-06?

The factory scope base is a two-piece Weaver-style base. Any standard Weaver or Picatinny rings (with the cross-slot design) will fit. Medium-height rings usually work well for most 40mm objective scopes.

Can I use the Mossberg Patriot 25-06 for long-range target shooting?

It can handle shots out to 500 yards or more with the right load and a good optic. The 25-06 is known for its flat trajectory, and the Patriot’s fluted barrel and adjustable trigger help with precision. That said, it’s built as a hunting rifle, not a dedicated competition gun, so don’t expect benchrest-level accuracy.
