Patriot Ordnance Factory 01646 Minuteman | .350 Legend | 16.5″

The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman 01646 is a direct-impingement, semi-automatic rifle chambered in .350 Legend with a 16.50-inch match-grade nitride heat-treated Puritan barrel and an E2 dual-extraction chamber. It is configured with a 14.5-inch M-LOK Renegade free-floating rail, Mission First Tactical 6-position stock and a black anodized finish. This configuration is intended for mobility and low recoil in a modern sporting rifle platform.

For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with the Minuteman for close-to-mid-range work, consider a low-magnification variable such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24, which matches the rifle’s intended use and sighting geometry.

Suitable applications include medium-game hunting in brush or short-range practical/range use where the .350 Legend’s terminal performance and reduced recoil are desirable.
