The Mossberg Patriot 450 Bushmaster delivers straight-wall cartridge power in a precision hunting platform built for modern big game hunters. This bolt-action rifle combines the proven Patriot action with features specifically engineered for the demanding 450 Bushmaster cartridge.
What Makes This Different
The 20-inch fluted and threaded barrel provides the optimal balance of velocity retention and maneuverability that standard 24-inch barrels can't match. The recessed match crown protects the critical rifling contact point from field damage, while the spiral-fluted bolt reduces cycling weight by 25% compared to standard bolts. The drop box magazine system allows rapid reloads without compromising the rifle's structural integrity.
Key Features
- 450 Bushmaster chambering with 4+1 capacity for straight-wall cartridge hunting zones
- 20-inch button-rifled barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Recessed match crown protects rifling integrity and maintains sub-MOA accuracy potential
- Spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight while maintaining full strength and reliability
- Adjustable LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger system with 2-7 pound range
- American walnut stock with classic styling and ergonomic grip geometry
- Detachable box magazine for quick field reloads
Field performance centers around the 450 Bushmaster's ability to deliver devastating terminal ballistics within 200 yards while meeting straight-wall cartridge regulations in restricted hunting zones. The fluted barrel design dissipates heat effectively during extended range sessions, while the matte blue finish resists corrosion in harsh weather conditions. The LBA trigger breaks cleanly for precise shot placement on game animals.
