The Mossberg Patriot chambered in .450 Bushmaster is engineered for reliable performance in demanding hunting scenarios, particularly where straight-wall cartridge compliance is mandated. This bolt-action rifle integrates proven mechanical design with a hard-hitting cartridge, delivering consistent terminal performance on medium to large game. Its utility-driven construction prioritizes durability and precision, making it a robust choice for the discerning sportsman.
Key Features
Caliber & Terminal Performance
The .450 Bushmaster cartridge provides substantial knockdown power, making it highly effective for deer, bear, and other large game. Its straight-wall design ensures compliance in restricted hunting zones while offering a ballistic profile suitable for typical hunting ranges. This rifle is designed to maximize the terminal ballistics of the cartridge, facilitating clean, ethical takedowns.
Precision Engineering
The rifle features a 20-inch button-rifled barrel, optimized for the .450 Bushmaster’s ballistic characteristics. A free-floated barrel configuration mitigates harmonics for enhanced accuracy potential. Mossberg’s LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) user-adjustable trigger offers a crisp, creep-free break, allowing shooters to fine-tune pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds for precise shot placement. The robust twin-lug bolt action provides smooth, reliable cycling, and the receiver is factory-drilled and tapped, ready for scope mount integration.
Robust Construction
A durable black synthetic stock provides all-weather resistance and a secure grip, essential for fieldwork in varying conditions. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver offers a classic aesthetic while providing a layer of corrosion resistance. A detachable box magazine facilitates rapid loading and unloading, ensuring operational efficiency and ease of maintenance in the field.
