About
What it is, and why it matters
The Mossberg 4x4 is a bolt-action centerfire hunting rifle produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons from 2007 until 2013. Built on a push-feed action with a free-floating, fluted button-rifled barrel, it was offered in a range of long-action and short-action calibers including the .30-06 Springfield. It featured Mossberg's adjustable LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger, a two-position thumb safety, an internal box magazine, and Weaver scope bases, and was marketed as an affordable accurate rifle for medium to large North American game.
The 4x4 marked O.F. Mossberg & Sons' return to producing centerfire bolt-action hunting rifles, a market the shotgun-focused maker had largely left decades earlier; its adjustable LBA trigger later carried over to the Patriot line.
The 4x4 was offered with synthetic, walnut, and laminate stocks and with blued or Marinecote finishes. It was succeeded in the Mossberg lineup by the Patriot bolt-action rifle. Barrel length and weight vary by stock and configuration; figures here reflect the 24-inch .30-06 synthetic model.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
