Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam 6.5 Creedmoor 20" Fluted Barrel

The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam 6.5 Creedmoor delivers precision rifle performance in a compact platform specifically engineered for smaller-framed shooters. This bolt-action rifle combines the proven Patriot action with youth-friendly dimensions and the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. The 20-inch fluted barrel reduces weight while maintaining accuracy potential for hunting and target applications.

What Makes This Different

The Super Bantam configuration features a 12.25-inch length of pull compared to standard adult rifles at 13.75 inches, making proper shooting form achievable for youth and smaller adults. The fluted barrel design removes material while maintaining structural integrity, resulting in faster heat dissipation and reduced overall weight. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering provides superior ballistics compared to traditional youth cartridges like .243 Winchester, with less recoil than larger hunting rounds.

Key Features

• 12.25-inch length of pull optimized for youth and compact shooters
• 20-inch fluted barrel with matte blue finish reduces weight and heat buildup
• 5+1 capacity with detachable box magazine system
• Adjustable LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger system
• Muddy Girl Wild camouflage synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
• Weaver-style scope base pre-installed for optics mounting
• Button-rifled barrel with recessed target crown

Field performance centers on the 6.5 Creedmoor's inherent accuracy and moderate recoil characteristics. The cartridge maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards while generating approximately 30% less felt recoil than .308 Winchester. The shorter barrel length maintains practical velocity for hunting applications within 400 yards. The synthetic stock resists moisture and temperature changes that affect wood stocks during extended outdoor use.
