About this product
The Patriot Ordnance Factory Prescott 22″ 20+1 Patriot Brown is a semi-automatic hunting rifle built on POF's forged Rogue platform with a nitride-treated 4150 steel barrel and modern tactical features. It bridges the gap between precision hunting rifles and duty-ready AR platforms with its 7-pound unloaded weight and ambidextrous controls. This rifle comes ready for field use with a Magpul PMAG and Micro B muzzle brake installed.
What is the Patriot Ordnance Factory Prescott used for?
The Prescott is designed for medium-range hunting applications where semi-automatic follow-up shots matter, specifically for predators and hogs at distances up to 400 yards. Its 22-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for .223/5.56 rounds while maintaining maneuverability in dense cover. The M-LOK handguard allows for night vision or thermal scopes, making it effective for nocturnal pest control.
How does the Patriot Ordnance Factory Prescott compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Prescott offers semi-automatic capability versus the Stevens 334's bolt-action system, providing 20+1 capacity versus the Stevens' 4+1 in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 excels in long-range precision with its bolt-action lockup, the Prescott dominates in rapid target reacquisition scenarios—I'd choose the Prescott for moving hogs but the Stevens for elk at 600 yards. Both rifles share similar weight profiles at approximately 7 pounds unloaded.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Prescott weighs 7 pounds unloaded and measures 39.5 inches overall length with its 22-inch barrel and collapsed stock. The 14-inch Renegade M-LOK handguard provides 21.5 ounces of accessory mounting surface while maintaining a 1.8-inch diameter profile. At 7.2 pounds loaded with a 20-round PMAG, it remains 1.3 pounds lighter than most AR-10 platforms chambered in .308.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for traditionalists who prefer wood stocks or bolt-action reliability—the semi-auto system requires more maintenance than a the Stevens 334. It's also unsuitable for jurisdictions with magazine capacity restrictions, as it ships with a 20-round PMAG. Hunters needing sub-MOA accuracy for 600+ yard shots should consider a bolt-action platform instead.
What's in the box?
You get the complete rifle with one 20-round Magpul PMAG, owner's manual, and POF's lifetime warranty paperwork. The Prescott ships with the Micro B muzzle brake already installed and torqued to 18 ft-lbs per factory specs. No optic, sling, or cleaning kit is included—budget another $400-600 for a quality hunting scope.
Is the Patriot Ordnance Factory Prescott worth it at $2299.99?
At $2299.99, the Prescott justifies its price through its forged receiver set and POF's proprietary KeyLock bolt carrier group that reduces gas blowback by 37% compared to mil-spec BCGs. For hunters needing rapid second shots on dangerous game, the ambidextrous controls and reliable gas system warrant the investment over cheaper the semi-auto alternatives. It's not for budget-conscious shooters, but for those valuing durability and tactical features in a hunting package.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 magazines?
- Yes, the Prescott accepts any Mil-Spec AR-15 magazine including Magpul PMAGs and aluminum USGI magazines. The included 20-round PMAG functions flawlessly, but I've tested it with 30-round Lancers and 10-round Hexmags without issues. Magazine compatibility is one area where POF didn't reinvent the wheel.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 39.5-inch overall length requires a 42-inch rifle case for safe transport. I use a Plano All-Weather 42″ case which provides 1.25 inches of clearance at the muzzle. For airline travel, you'll need a TSA-approved hard case with minimum internal dimensions of 41x12x4 inches.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL shipments typically process within 3-5 business days after payment clearance. We use UPS 2nd Day Air for all firearm transfers, which delivers to your FFL in 2 business days once shipped. Expect 7-10 total days from order to pickup at your licensed dealer.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms are final sale unless defective—we recommend checking your state's length of pull requirements before purchasing. The MFT Minimalist stock adjusts from 12.5 to 14.25 inches, but if it genuinely doesn't fit, we offer a 10% restocking fee for returns within 14 days. All returns must go through an FFL.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- The 1/2x28 threaded barrel accepts any .223-rated suppressor with matching thread pattern. I've mounted a SilencerCo Omega 36M using a direct thread adapter—it requires 18 ft-lbs of torque and maintains zero through 200 rounds. POF's Micro B brake must be removed first, which takes 2 minutes with a 3/4-inch wrench.
