Cheap 22-250

ok I know this isn’t a really big GUN site
but I am sure there are some shooters and hunters here
Just thought I would stick a gun review here on a CHEAP rifle

was bored the last few weeks and decided to pick up a Mossberg Patriot rifle in 22-250, as they have a decent look to them and was in the looking for a cheap beater walking 22-250,
so stopped in a local shop and had them order me one, rifle cost me $338.00 out the door tax and all, came with weaver bases on the gun
gun has a fluted barrel and a spiral fluted bolt and a adjustable trigger

I stuck a cheap-ish Cabela"s brand 2.5-10×50,30 mm tubed scope on it
and took rifle out to my range today to see how it shoots
have a lot of reloaded 22-250 on hand in a few different loads

rifle shot very well for the price point, sub 1 inch groups with everything, with NO fav load I had, most would be covered with a quarter at 100 yrds
no flyers at all, they all grouped in like patterns
nice clusters, no lines or strings or such!, several hole for hole groups and then one out a hair out , (left right high low)no real pattern to the one opening up the group
did all 3 shot groups too, about 60 rounds
was about 20 degree’s out and very low winds off a good bench and rest
barrel cooled really fats with the low temps, so not much time needed between groups!

SO< for a 300 dollar rifle more or less , MINE shoots very well
and MIGHT get better once I bed it and try some different loads on fired brass now !
