If i remember correctly at one time you could buy them other places. Then it was a Cabelas only special. Then Bass Pro after the merger/buyout. They may be selling them elsewhere again?I have a walnut stock Patriot in .243 and a Ruger American Ranch in .450 Bushmaster. The Mossberg feels less "cheap" but that could be just because of the stock.
I haven't had any problems with either rifle. Both are plenty accurate.
I also have a Browning AB3 in .30-06 which I consider a budget rifle. I like it better than the Patriot or the American.
They also don't have any in stock at Cabelas last i checked.They may be phasing them out? It would not surprise me if they did.
