Also waiting on the .308
AFAIK lefty's make up about 10% of the population. I've always found it odd that any company (Mossberg in this case) would willingly give up 10% of their potential sales.Originally Posted by WanstallsOnline
Ordered one, hopefully I'll get it before the weekend
Massive "Hail Mary" request here, but any chance of these in .300 BLK???
Thanks.

I bought one from another vendor on here as soon as they were available (308 patrol). From the start of the transaction it was a fail. It was listed as a 7.62x39 which got me interested in the first place.
when I got it, I found that it is quite heavy for such a compact rifle. This is due to the stock being painted wood rather than synthetic which it was also advertised as. Anyways, the fit and finish is poor. When I say fit and finish, I mean everything from the painted stock, very notchy operation of the bolt, sloppy magazine lock up (P mags), to what I would consider one of the worst triggers I have ever handled.
If it was a 4-$500 rifle this might have been borderline acceptable but it isn't and I sold it before firing one round.
If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!
Here are My first thoughts regarding my new .223 patrol from wanstalls. I took it out yesterday and all in all a fairly accurate rifle out of the box. Fit and finish are ok but it does have one of the worst bolts I've seen. I think I'll take it to my gunsmith to see if anything can be done. Other than that it's definitely a fun lil shooter.
Does it have a synthetic stock as in the advert or is it painted wood?

the bolt on my 308 patrol was horrible, the only thing worse I have handled was a savage

it is painted wood just like the 308 I had

What is so horrible about the bolt? Looking to pick up a 5.56 model as a truck/varmint rig.
