Mossberg Patriot 375 Ruger :)

Took the Mossberg Patriot in .375 Ruger to the range yesterday, and holy hell was I impressed with that thing. After a quick zero at 50 yds, I took her to 100 and managed to put together some very nice groups, all of them sub-moa. This was with factory ammo, Hornady Superformance 250 Gr GMX. The rifle could have done much better than that though, I'm sure of it. I fired one group at 200 yards, and was surprised to see very little drop, and I put together a 3-inch group.

If anyone is seriously considering going with a big bore rifle, I would check this thing out. As of right now I can't say enough good things about it. Might just have to take this thing out after bear this year and leave the flintlock at home!

Honestly, recoil was no where near what I expected it to be. That being said this isn't something that you're gonna want to shoot all day, but I had no problem putting 25 rounds through it off the bench.

I shot above rifle with him yesterday, and he is lying through his teeth!
I shot 3 rounds(off bench, and I hugged it tho..), and it's a shoulder buster!
With that being said, it is surprisingly accurate weapon far more then I ever thought it would be.

you know something ain't right when shooting 45-70 out of 18" barreled 1885 Marlin(which I was shooting) feels pleasant right after shooting his 375...
