I bought a different, more basic, style of Mossberg Patriot in 6.5 CM in 2018 for one of my son's friends to use on his first deer hunt. We've only shot the 125 grain Winchester/Olin Deer Season XP in it and I have been very impressed how well it shoots and how solid it feels. I bought a used Savage Axis in 6.5 CM just because it was priced so low, $215, and have found it to be as accurate, maybe even a little more accurate, as the Patriot, but it feels cheaper, less robust, to me.
I think that Wal-Mart would sell a lot of 700 ADL package guns in 6.5 CM if they had them in the display case and immediately available for the impulse purchase buyers.
