Mossberg Patriot 450 Bushmaster Bolt Action Rifle 20" Walnut

The Mossberg Patriot 450 Bushmaster delivers the stopping power needed for large game hunting in dense cover where shots are typically under 200 yards. This bolt-action rifle combines the hard-hitting 450 Bushmaster cartridge with Mossberg's proven Patriot platform for reliable performance in challenging hunting conditions.

What Makes This Different

The 450 Bushmaster cartridge generates approximately 2,200 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, significantly more than traditional straight-wall cartridges while remaining legal in many restricted hunting zones. The Patriot's spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight while maintaining strength, and the user-adjustable LBA trigger system allows customization from 2 to 7 pounds. The classic American walnut stock provides traditional aesthetics with modern ergonomics.

Key Features

• 450 Bushmaster chamber handles 250-300 grain bullets for maximum knockdown power
• 20-inch button-rifled barrel with 1:24 twist rate optimized for heavy bullets

• User-adjustable LBA trigger system (2-7 pound pull weight)

Field performance centers on the 450 Bushmaster's ability to drop large game quickly at moderate ranges. The cartridge maintains over 1,500 foot-pounds of energy at 150 yards, making it effective on whitetail, black bear, and wild hog. The Patriot's box magazine system allows hunters to load different bullet weights for varying shot distances. Weather-resistant finish protects against moisture and field conditions.
