Late-summer bait. A guide’s patience. One clear shot. That’s the hunt.
Mossberg’s Patriot in 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC proves itself on a Northeast black-bear hunt (see video below). Smooth action. Crisp trigger. Reliable ballistics. The rifle puts rounds exactly where they need to go for a quick, ethical harvest.
Equipping the Patriot with a Banish suppressor from Silencer Central tames the blast. That matters. A suppressor protects hearing, cuts recoil, and steadies follow-ups. It also keeps noise off neighboring properties — responsible hunting, plain and simple.
Shot execution here is basic: find the bear, steady the rifle, and make the best possible shot. Preparation and the right gear do the rest.
If you hunt big game, consider a quality suppressor for your 6.5. It makes you a better shooter and a more considerate woodsman. No gimmicks — just fewer distractions when the moment counts.
