Mossberg Patriot 28005 | .243 Win | 22″ Stainless Cerakote

The Mossberg Patriot 28005 is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .243 Winchester with a 22″ fluted barrel finished in stainless Cerakote and a black fixed synthetic stock. It features Mossberg’s LBA adjustable trigger, a spiral-fluted bolt with a knurled handle, a recessed crown on the barrel, and a detachable box magazine. The rifle is built for field use and general sporting applications and is offered in a right-hand configuration.

For optics under $1,000 that pair well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 or a comparable 3-9x scope; these provide a useful magnification range and reliable performance for field work without exceeding the price guideline.

Typical applications include field hunting and varmint or predator work where a lightweight, accurate .243 platform is appropriate.
