A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a Mossberg Patriot in 338 Win Mag. I don't have a lot of knowledge on these rifles, but have read great reviews on these. I got this thing for cheap. However with a leupold 3-9 on this thing, loaded it weighs less than 7 pounds. Less than 6 1/2 unloaded. 22" Fluted barrel.
I am not a guy that is recoil sensitive, but I am starting to wonder if this thing is going to ring my bell. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but just loaded up a box of 180 Grain Nosler Accubonds for it.
Anybody have any experience with these things in Magnum Calibers?
