Description
The Mossberg Patriot in 400 Legend with a 20-inch fluted stainless barrel and laminate stock is a straight-up hunting rifle that hits hard without beating you up. Chambered in 400 Legend, it splits the difference between a .30-30 and a .450 Bushmaster—flat enough for deer out to 250 yards, but with enough thump to anchor hogs inside the timber. We’ve had this model on our shelves since early 2026, and the return rate is low because customers get exactly what they expect: a reliable, accurate rifle at a fair price. One staff note that sticks with me: a guy drove three hours from Fort Wayne to pick this up rather than wait for shipping. That says something about the trust folks put in this Patriot.
Key Highlights
- 400 Legend Chambering — Designed for straight-wall deer seasons, yet delivers flatter trajectories and less recoil than .450 Bushmaster or .350 Legend. Uses standard .452-inch bullets.
- 20″ Fluted Stainless Barrel — Reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. The fluting helps with cooling during follow-up shots. Stainless resists rust in wet weather.
- Laminate Stock — Stable in humidity and temperature swings. The raised comb aligns your eye with a scope naturally. No flex under bipod use.
- Adjustable Trigger (Lightning Bolt Action) — User-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds. Crisp break out of the box. No gunsmith needed.
- Spiral-Fluted Bolt — Smooth cycling. The fluting reduces friction and helps clear debris. Knurled handle for positive grip with gloves.

What Buyers Ask
Can I mount a scope on this rifle without buying extra parts?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style bases. Most standard 1-inch scope rings work. We recommend a low or medium ring height depending on your objective lens size.
Is the 400 Legend legal for deer hunting in straight-wall cartridge states?
Yes. The 400 Legend meets the straight-wall case requirement in states like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa. Always check your local regs for bullet diameter and case length limits.
Does this rifle come with a scope or iron sights?
No. The Patriot ships without sights or a scope. The receiver is pre-drilled for scope bases. We stock several budget-friendly scopes that pair well with this rifle—just ask at the counter.
