    Not a good start for my patriot or my first mossberg customer service experience

    UPDATE: I finally tried putting some polish on this turd. I used a dremel to roughen it up and grind out some plastic. Then I bedded the receiver. I used a good bit of bedding to try to give it as much support and stiffness as possible. It has considerably tightened the groups. I’ve been able...

    Not a good start for my patriot or my first mossberg customer service experience

    Their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. I own 8 Mossbergs and never had a problem. . Until I bought my 9th. I bought a Patriot in .338 that won’t hit the broad side of a barn from the inside shooting out. I went back & forth with customer support via email & phone calls. I...

    Patriot Issues

    I own a number of Mossberg rifles and shotguns. Around 2 years ago I purchased a Patriot in .338 Win Mag. It can’t hit the broad side of a barn from the inside shooting out. I’m looking for suggestions. So far I have done the following: 1. Tightened or replaced the scope, base, and rings...
