I had the same rifle in 3006 and it didn’t shoot too well. I sold it to a friend for his son, he shot a box and a half of ammo through it one day, he did 5 shot groups through it, got the barrel pretty hot and they cleaned the barrel real good they put 5 more shots through and let cool now it shoots MOA.
I have one in 308. Walmart special with camo stock. Paid like 150-200 for it. It’s used primarily as a loaner gun. Patriots tend to struggle in the accuracy department, but mines acceptable for 150 yards in deer hunting. I use a Winchester model 70 308 and have a tikka t3x 30-06. I’ll stick with those 2. Imo they are a class above this, but for what it is. It does the job.
Here is the main problems associated with cheap rifles - quality control and using flimsy parts. That's what you get for low prices. You also get inconsistent accuracy from rifle to rifle. Some rifles can be fixed by the owners while others have go back to the manufacturer, who might return them and state it they shoot "within standard specs" or something like that. Then you are stuck with a rifle you don't want and have to sell or trade it. Good luck with that.
@@PassivePortfolios I wouldn’t consider this cheap at nearly a grand but I would call it affordable. This model is on the high end of cheap even without the scope.
I have the exact same rifle. I have a Vortex Diamondback 4x16 on it. Love the gun! Shoots well, looks nice, not overly heavy.

@@MudLakeRanch for a grand, I'd rather have a Howa, Tikka, CZ or CVA Bergara.
@ I’d love to run those as well. This was sent to me for review. Hopefully I get those brands on the channel too
That's not very good groups but it's a Mossberg patriot so that says it all mine shoots like crap.
Mine shoots great
Sure it does
@@HazardousRobmy patriot in 30-06 shoots fine the scope it came with was trash but the gun is fine you guys just cry about anything
