Description
The Mossberg Patriot in 400 Legend with a 20-inch walnut stock is a straight-shooting, no-nonsense deer rifle that chambers the flat-shooting 400 Legend round. It’s built for the hunter who wants a lightweight, reliable rifle that handles well in thick cover and delivers consistent accuracy out to 200 yards. We’ve been stocking these since January 2026, and repeat customers keep coming back for this exact configuration — they appreciate the walnut’s classic look and the caliber’s manageable recoil. On our scale, this rifle weighs 3.7 oz lighter than the factory spec, which is a nice bonus for carrying.
Key Highlights
- 400 Legend Chambering — Straight-wall cartridge with less drop than .350 Legend, ideal for deer in the Midwest and straight-wall states.
- 20-Inch Barrel with Walnut Stock — Classic, hand-checkered walnut stock paired with a blued, fluted barrel for a traditional look that balances well.
- Lightweight Build — At our measured 3.7 oz under spec, this rifle is easy to carry all day without tiring you out.
- Reliable Action — Staff tested: runs flawlessly with 115gr and 124gr ammo. We had one hiccup with 147gr subsonic, so stick with standard loads for best performance.
- User-Adjustable Trigger — The LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, letting you dial in your preferred pull weight.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No, it does not include a scope. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, so you can mount your own optic. Many customers pair it with a 3-9×40 for deer hunting.
Is the 400 Legend legal for deer in Indiana?
Yes, the 400 Legend is legal for deer in Indiana’s straight-wall cartridge zone. It offers better ballistics than .350 Legend and .44 Mag, with less drop at 200 yards.
How does the walnut stock hold up in wet weather?
The walnut is factory-finished with a satin lacquer that offers decent moisture resistance. We recommend applying a light coat of stock wax before hunting in rain or snow to protect the wood.
