Mossberg Patriot Predator Bolt-Action Series in 7mm PRC

Here is the new 7mm PRC Patriot Predator described by Mossberg:

Mossberg® Adds 7mm PRC to Patriot™ Predator Bolt-Action Series

North Haven, CT – Mossberg is pleased to offer the latest Hornady® Precision Rifle Cartridge, 7mm PRC, in its series of Patriot Predator bolt-action rifles. Designed to outperform existing 7mm cartridges in a standard long-action rifle, the 7mm PRC is a match-grade cartridge that delivers consistent velocity and repeatable accuracy. The 7mm PRC is the perfect “match” for Mossberg’s purpose-built, suppressor-ready Patriot Predator platform. Two synthetic-stocked models are available with 24-inch barrel length and 1:8 twist rate to maximize the performance of the 7mm PRC cartridge.

The Patriot Predator bolt-action is based on Mossberg’s proven twin-lug push-feed machined-steel action, fed from a flush polymer magazine. The free-floating, carbon steel barrel is threaded (5/8”-24 threads per inch) for ease of adding a suppressor or muzzle brake; includes a protective thread cap; has a 11-degree match crown; and is fluted. For the addition of optics, the Patriot Predator is equipped with a receiver mounted Picatinny rail. Patriot rifles feature Mossberg’s patented LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action™) user-adjustable trigger with a 2 to 7-pound range of adjustment for consistent shot placement. Rounding out this full-featured rifle is an oversized bolt handle; spiral-fluted bolt; and sling swivel studs.

Stock options include a Flat Dark Earth stock with matte blue metal finish (28170) and TrueTimber® Strata™ camouflaged stock with complementing Patriot Brown Cerakote metal finish (28171). MSP: $519 – $616

    I mean, everyone looked at 7mm Weatherby and went "meh, 7 Rem mag is plenty good enough" already. Is 7mm the new 6.5 where we will see 20 new cartridges within 150 FPS of every other, none of which are markedly better than x55?

    Ruger called, they want THEIR Predator back. You’d think Ruger would have had a patent lawyer on line 1 once they saw that rifle.
