For hunters and precision shooters who want a capable bolt-action rifle without a premium price tag, this model balances accuracy, ergonomics, and durable craftsmanship. The walnut stock and robust metalwork combine traditional aesthetics with practical features built for the field.

MOSSBERG PATRIOT WALNUT

Design and key features

The MOSSBERG PATRIOT WALNUT brings several shooter-focused details into a competitively priced platform ($569.99). The rifle uses a drop box magazine with a single 4-round magazine included, enabling quick reloads and positive feeding. A spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight and improves debris clearance, while the streamlined bolt handle gives fast, snag-free cycling from field positions.

Barrel, crown, and optics

A 20-inch threaded barrel allows for muzzle device or suppressor attachment depending on local regulations. The barrel’s recessed match crowning is intended to protect the muzzle and support more consistent muzzle release for improved accuracy. The receiver accepts Weaver-style mounts, so mounting a compact scope or a low-power variable is straightforward for hunting or precision work.

Trigger, stock, and ergonomics

The user-adjustable trigger has a 5-pound adjustment range (2-7 lbs min/max), letting shooters tune pull weight for steady offhand or precision bench shooting. The walnut stock features checkered patterning on grip and forearm for secure handling, and a rubber buttpad helps manage recoil and improve follow-up shot comfort.

Caliber: .400 Legend advantages

Chambered in Winchester’s .400 Legend, this configuration is tailored for medium-game hunting with a straight-walled cartridge that delivers strong terminal performance at typical hunting distances. The .400 Legend is known for effective energy transfer on game inside common engagement ranges, and the short-action platform choices in the Patriot line let shooters pick the right balance of weight and handling.

For those evaluating value and capability, the MOSSBERG PATRIOT WALNUT stands out as a field-ready bolt action that covers the essentials: reliable feeding, adaptable optics mounting, an adjustable trigger, and a comfortable walnut stock. Whether you’re fitting optics, adding a muzzle device, or dialing trigger pull, the platform is forgiving and adaptable.

Practical recommendations

Fit the rifle with 1″ Weaver-style rings and a low-power optic for most hunting scenarios. Keep the trigger set toward the middle of the adjustable range if you alternate between field work and accuracy-focused sessions. The threaded 20″ barrel gives flexibility for legal muzzle devices where allowed.
