The modern sporting shooter and practical hunter needs a rifle that balances rugged build, straightforward ergonomics, and field-ready performance. This review breaks down the key attributes of a versatile bolt gun that meets those demands while remaining budget-conscious.

MOSSBERG PATRIOT delivers a practical package: a bolt action rifle chambered in 450 Bushmaster with a 20″ fluted and threaded barrel, matte blued finish, walnut stock, adjustable trigger, Weaver style base, and a 3+1rd magazine configuration—sold as-is with NO BOX for $649.99.

Design and notable features

The 20″ fluted and threaded barrel provides a balance of velocity and maneuverability. Fluting reduces weight and aids cooling; threading allows for muzzle devices or suppressors where legal. The matte blued finish reduces glare in the field, and the walnut stock gives a traditional, solid feel compared to synthetic alternatives. An adjustable trigger lets shooters tune pull weight for accuracy and comfort, while the Weaver style base simplifies mounting optics without specialized tooling.

Action, magazine, and condition

As a bolt action in the Bolt Action category, the rifle uses a 3+1rd magazine setup and ships with 1 Mag included. The 3+1 capacity is typical for big-bore hunting rifles, offering one in the chamber plus magazine rounds. Note the listing specifies NO BOX, which is common in pre-owned or estate offerings and should be considered when assessing resale or collector value.

The 450 Bushmaster caliber is engineered for straight-walled big-game hunting at moderate ranges. Its heavy-for-caliber bullets deliver deep penetration and terminal energy suitable for deer-size and larger game under many state regulations that permit straight-walled cartridges. Shooters appreciate the cartridge’s recoil impulse relative to its stopping power and its versatility with heavy-for-caliber projectiles.

Price is a key consideration: at $649.99, this configuration provides an accessible entry into big-bore bolt guns while retaining quality features like the threaded fluted barrel and walnut furniture. If you want to see the current listing and purchase options, Shop this product on our shop page.
