The Mossberg 28238 Patriot in 450 Bushmaster is a bolt-action hunting rifle that blends practical features with straightforward reliability—the kind of gun that lets you focus on the shot rather than wrestling with your equipment. Built around Mossberg's user-friendly design philosophy, this full-size rifle arrives ready to hunt with a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope, eliminating the guesswork of scope selection and mounting.
What makes the Patriot stand out in the 450 Bushmaster category is the attention to detail in the mechanics. The spiral-fluted bolt and streamlined bolt handle cycle smoothly, while the recessed match barrel crown promotes accuracy. The 20-inch barrel wears a matte blue finish and is threaded (11/16-24 TPI) for suppressor mounting or muzzle devices—a practical feature if you plan to tame recoil or reduce noise. The receiver is drilled and tapped for the included Weaver-style bases, and the walnut fixed stock provides a traditional look with solid ergonomics.
The real advantage here is the included Vortex Crossfire II scope, a mid-range variable optic that delivers adequate magnification (3-9x) for medium-range hunting and is durable enough for field conditions. The rifle ships with lens caps and Vortex scope rings, so you're not buying parts separately. The drop-box magazine system holds 4+1 rounds, and the LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, letting you dial in the break weight you prefer. At roughly 8 pounds and 40.25 inches overall, it's a handy platform that won't exhaust you on long days afield.
The 450 Bushmaster remains a specialized cartridge—powerful, short-range brush gun medicine for hunters in states that restrict rifles or those chasing hogs and deer where shots don't stretch beyond 150–200 yards. Mossberg built the Patriot to handle it without pretense or unnecessary cost.
