Description
Picture this: you’re glassing a ridge in the Missouri Ozarks, a mile of open pasture between you and a mature whitetail. The wind is steady, the shot is long, and you need a rifle that won’t question the distance. You need a tool built for that decisive moment. That’s where the Mossberg Patriot Vortex Scoped Combo 300 Win Mag, 24″ Barrel, Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope, Walnut, 5rd comes in.
What is it? It’s a factory-ready, long-range hunting system. Mossberg’s Patriot bolt-action rifle in the potent .300 Winchester Magnum caliber is paired from the factory with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope. This combo delivers out-of-the-box capability for taking ethical shots at extended ranges on large game, all for a price point of $617.57.
Built for the Demanding Shot
The heart of this package is the .300 Win Mag cartridge. It flattens trajectories and carries devastating energy well past where standard rounds give up. The 24-inch barrel is the perfect partner, providing the necessary length for full powder burn and optimal velocity. This isn’t a brush gun; it’s a rifle for when you see the opportunity across a canyon or a wide CRP field. The walnut stock offers a classic, solid feel that dampens recoil perception compared to synthetic options. At 7.5 to 8 pounds unscoped, it’s a manageable weight for packing into a stand, yet substantial enough to be steady for off-hand shots.
A Scope That Matches the Rifle’s Purpose
Mossberg didn’t slap a cheap piece of glass on here. The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm is a legitimate optic with fully multi-coated lenses for bright sight pictures and a dead-hold BDC reticle for estimating holdover. The 3-9x magnification range is the classic sweet spot for North American big game. From 50 yards to 500, this scope gives you the clarity and precision to place your shot. It comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory, so it’s ready for you to confirm zero at the range—no gunsmithing required. The package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Pros & Cons
The Upside: You get a complete, capable long-range hunting rig for one price. The .300 Win Mag/24″ barrel combination is ballistically serious. Vortex optics are known for their clarity and unlimited lifetime warranty. The walnut stock provides durability and a traditional aesthetic. The detachable magazine is a practical feature in the field. It’s a setup that inspires confidence when the shot is anything but guaranteed.
The Consideration: .300 Win Mag has significant recoil and ammunition cost—it’s not for casual plinking. The rifle’s length makes it less maneuverable in thick timber. This is a specialized tool for a specific mission: reaching out and cleanly taking large game at distance. That said, if your hunting grounds demand that capability, there are few better values.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Patriot combo is for the hunter who faces long shots across open country, whether for Western elk, plains mule deer, or Missouri whitetails in expansive agricultural fields. It’s for the shooter who values a ready-to-hunt package from a reputable manufacturer, without the hassle and extra cost of sourcing and mounting a scope separately. It’s also an excellent entry point for hunters looking to step up into a true long-range cartridge without breaking the bank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted on the Patriot’s receiver using a base and rings. It is also factory bore-sighted. This means you should be on paper at 100 yards right out of the box, but you must take it to a range to confirm and fine-tune the zero for your specific ammunition.
Q: Can this rifle handle other .30 caliber magnum ammunition?
A: No. The Mossberg Patriot in this configuration is chambered specifically for .300 Winchester Magnum. You should only use ammunition marked as .300 Win Mag. Do not attempt to fire .300 Weatherby Magnum, .300 Remington Ultra Mag, or other similar but dimensionally different cartridges.
Q: What type of rings/base does it use, and can I change the scope?
A: The rifle typically uses a standard Weaver-style base. The included Vortex scope is mounted with matching rings. You can absolutely change the optic later. Popular upgrades often include higher-magnification Vortex models like the Diamondback Tactical or Leupold’s VX-Freedom line, which use the same base footprint.
