There's something about a walnut stock and blued steel that just feels right in the deer woods, and the Mossberg Patriot in .450 Bushmaster delivers that classic look without giving up modern features. The .450 Bushmaster chambering has become a go-to for hunters in straight-wall country, and it hits whitetail and hogs with authority well inside 200 yards. This Patriot wears a 20-inch fluted barrel that's threaded 11/16×24 with a protective cap, plus an 11-degree match crown, so you can add a muzzle device or leave it clean and simple.
Mossberg's LBA trigger is one of the best things going on a rifle in this class. It's user adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, so you can dial in a crisp, lighter pull for precise shots from the stand or keep it heavier for cold-weather hunting with gloves. The spiral-fluted bolt with its knurled handle cycles smooth and gives you plenty of purchase for quick follow-ups, and the detachable box magazine makes loading and unloading painless at the truck or the range. Weaver-style bases come installed from the factory, so mounting a scope is about as easy as it gets.
At around 7 pounds with a 13.75-inch length of pull, this rifle carries well and shoulders naturally, and that walnut stock soaks up more of the big .450's push than the lighter synthetic versions do. Owners consistently mention how quickly it sights in and how well it groups with common factory loads, and the 1:24 twist stabilizes the heavy 250 and 260 grain bullets this cartridge is known for. If you hunt where straight-wall cartridges rule the season, this is a good-looking, hard-hitting rifle that shows up ready to work. Pick up a spare magazine, top it with a solid 3-9x scope, and you've got a setup that will handle deer season for years to come.
It does not ship with iron sights or a scope, but Mossberg installs Weaver-style bases at the factory. That means you just need rings and your optic of choice to get it range-ready. A 3-9×40 is a popular, sensible pairing for the distances this cartridge is built for.
It's a big straight-wall cartridge, so expect a firm push, somewhere in the neighborhood of a stout .308 or a 12 gauge slug depending on the load. The walnut-stocked Patriot weighs around 7 pounds, which helps tame it compared to lighter synthetic rifles in the same chambering. Most hunters find it very manageable for sighting in and hunting.
Yes. The 20-inch barrel is threaded 11/16×24 TPI and ships with a protective cap, so it's set up for a brake or other muzzle device right out of the box. A good brake noticeably cuts felt recoil on the .450 Bushmaster if you're recoil sensitive.
It is. The Patriot uses Mossberg's LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger, which is user adjustable from roughly 2 to 7 pounds. It breaks clean from the factory, and being able to fine-tune the pull weight is a real plus at this price point.
