I own a Patriot in 260 Rem. They are definitely a value at what you get for the money but mine shot 1.5" groups so I sent it back to Nosler to be fixed May 20, 2017. A few days later I got a note saying it would be returned in 60 days. Nosler's customer service told me they are switching from PacNor barrels to Shilen due to quality issues. I know 3 other people with Nosler rifles that shoot much better right out of the box so I am sure my problems were not normal. The rifle is well balanced and functions well.
As posted above I returned my Nosler 260 to the factory for warranty work. They called yesterday to confirm my shipping address and said it would be returned today & was shooting .4" groups with factory loads. I am a happy camper.
I asked for them to send me a box of the ammo they were using & I will mount a Bushnell 4500 4x16x42 scope on it.
