The Mossberg 28044 Patriot Predator in 243 Winchester delivers precision shooting performance with enhanced durability for demanding hunting conditions. This bolt-action rifle combines a fluted barrel design with Patriot Brown Cerakote finish to provide both weight reduction and superior corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The fluted 22-inch barrel reduces overall weight by approximately 8 ounces while maintaining structural integrity and heat dissipation properties. Unlike standard hunting rifles with basic finishes, the Patriot Brown Cerakote coating provides 2,400+ hour salt spray resistance. The TrueTimber Strata camouflage stock offers superior concealment compared to solid-color alternatives, while the spiral fluted bolt enhances smooth cycling under adverse conditions.Key Features
