Mossberg Patriot .400 Legend 20-Inch Rifle with Scope

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in .400 Legend is built for hunters who want a capable, straight-walled cartridge rifle in a package that handles well in tight cover — think deer drives, blind hunting, or any situation where a full-length rifle is more than you need. The 20-inch barrel strikes a workable balance between velocity retention and maneuverability without going so short that the cartridge is left underperforming. .400 Legend itself was developed to satisfy straight-wall cartridge hunting regulations and delivers a wide, heavy-for-caliber bullet that transfers energy efficiently at the ranges most hunters actually shoot deer.

The 1-in-16 twist rate is a sensible match for the cartridge. .400 Legend runs heavier, larger-diameter projectiles, and a slower twist like this stabilizes them without over-spinning the bullet — a faster twist optimized for smaller, lighter bullets would be a mismatch here. When you’re choosing ammunition, that twist rate means you’re working in a range where the heavier hunting loads will stabilize cleanly.

The two-position safety gives you a straightforward on/off arrangement that most bolt-gun shooters already know by feel. The rifle ships without iron sights but includes a Dead Ringer 3-9x40mm scope, which covers the magnification range that makes sense for .400 Legend’s effective hunting distances — you’re not stretching past 9x for this application. The walnut stock and blued finish are traditional choices that wear well in the field. Capacity is 4+1 with the included four-round box magazine.
