Mossberg Patriot 400 Legend Rifle with 3-9×40 Scope

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in .400 Legend is a practical bolt-action hunting rifle aimed at deer hunters who want the stopping power of a wide, heavy-for-caliber projectile without the recoil of a magnum cartridge. The .400 Legend cartridge was designed with straight-walled case states in mind, making this Patriot a natural fit for hunters who need to meet those requirements, and the 4+1 capacity gives you a round in the chamber and a full box magazine behind it without any bulk added to the grip.

The 20-inch barrel is the right call for a woods rifle. It keeps the overall package short enough to maneuver in tight stands and dense brush while still giving the .400 Legend enough dwell time to reach useful velocity. The 1-in-16 twist is calibrated for the heavier .400-diameter bullets that make this cartridge effective on deer-sized game, so you are not fighting the twist rate when choosing loads.

The barrel is fluted and threaded, and the bolt features Mossberg’s spiral fluting, which reduces the bearing surface between bolt body and receiver to smooth the cycling stroke. The LBA — Lightning Bolt Action — trigger is user-adjustable, which matters when you are trying to get a clean pull without a gunsmith visit. A 3-9x40mm scope ships in the box, mounted on Weaver-style bases, so the rifle is ready to take to a zeroing range without additional hardware. The two-position safety is straightforward to operate and gives a clear on-off indication by feel.
