Mossberg rang in the new year with upgrades to many of its popular shotguns and rifles, modernizing some cornerstone products or making others “duty grade.” In the bolt-action rifle category, the company's MVP Patrol has been given Mossberg’s “Professional” treatment, and the Patriot line of rifles has been updated with suppressor-ready barrels.

Mossberg’s MVP Patrol was designed to provide a handy, bolt-action carbine for law enforcement or self-defense that fed from popular modern sporting rifle magazines. The updated MVP Patrol has the same “Professional Series” upgrades that Mossberg has given to some of its shotguns. This includes “an enhanced assembly and quality control process,” with all metal parts given a Tungsten Cerakote finish.

The MVP Patrol has been given “Professional Series” upgrades to its fit and finish. The 7.62 NATO version is pictured.

Standard features on all MVP Patrol Professional rifles include a medium-weight, 16.25” barrel that has its muzzle threaded and is supplied with both an A2-style flash hider and a thread protector, iron sights in the form of a fully-adjustable rear notch sight and a front post with fiber-optic insert, a pillar-bedded synthetic stock and Mossberg’s “Lightning Bolt Action” (LBA) user-adjustable trigger.

In addition to the short-action 7.62 NATO version, the MVP Patrol Professional is also offered in a “mini-action” version chambered in .300 Blackout (top) or 5.56 NATO (bottom).

Rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout feed from AR-15-pattern magazines, while 7.62 NATO rifles use Mossberg’s “Dual Latch” system that allows them to feed from AR-10 magazines (SR-25/Magpul pattern) or M1A/M14 magazines. One magazine with a 10-round capacity is supplied with each rifle. All three versions have an MSRP of $847.

Mossberg recognizes the growing popularity of using suppressors while hunting with their optimized-for-suppressors Patriot Carbine lineup.

As state governments recognize the safety benefits provided by suppressors, they have changed their regulations to allow them to be used for hunting. Mossberg’s budget-friendly Patriot line of bolt-action rifles has been upgraded to make them more suppressor friendly. The Suppressor-Ready Patriot Carbines have shorter barrels to keep the rifle’s overall length compact when a suppressor is attached. Barrel lengths vary between 16.25” and 20”, depending on the chambering, with barrels having an 11-degree match crown and a protector to cover the muzzle threads.

The Patriot Carbine mates a synthetic stock with a carbine-length barrel that has its muzzle threaded to accept suppressors.

Standard features on the Patriot Carbine include a black synthetic stock, matte black finish on all metal parts, detachable box magazine, Picatinny rail optics mount on the receiver, spiral-fluted bolt with oversized handle, and an LBA trigger. Available chamberings are .22-250 Rem., 6.5 mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 7 mm PRC, .308 Win. (available in two barrel lengths), .300 Win. Mag., .350 Legend, and .450 Bushmaster. All versions have an MSRP of $515.

Three Mossberg Patriot bolt-action rifles, each with a different barrel length.
The Patriot Carbine is offered in both medium and long action lengths and barrel lengths of 16.25”, 18” or 20”.
