New in 7MM PRC: Mossberg's Patriot Predator Bolt-Action Rifles

First look (SHOT Show): The suppressor-ready rifle is currently available in two synthetic-stocked models.

One of the hottest topics at SHOT Show 2023 in Las Vegas was the new 7MM PRC cartridge. Mossberg's suppressor-ready Patriot Predator bolt-action hunting rifle has two new models offered in Hornady's 7 mm Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC ). The rifle is available in two stocks—Flat Dark Earth (FDE) and TrueTimber Strata camo.

Mossberg's Linda Powell chatted with Game & Fish Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller about the hunting rifles at SHOT Show 2023 in Las Vegas (see attached video). Here's more from Mossberg:
