The Mossberg Patriot Walnut 450 Bushmaster bolt-action rifle delivers serious stopping power in a proven platform built for hunters who demand reliability and accuracy. Chambered in 450 Bushmaster—a cartridge renowned for its knockdown energy on medium and large game at moderate distances—this Model 28043 pairs the no-nonsense Patriot action with classic American walnut furniture and a 20-inch barrel threaded for suppressors or muzzle devices. Whether you're hunting from a stand, glassing timber, or running a dedicated hog or deer rifle, the 450 Bushmaster's fat, slow bullet hits different, and the Patriot's reputation for sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box gives you the confidence to take the shot.

The rifle ships with a 4+1 capacity, meaning four rounds in the magazine plus one chambered—plenty for hunting scenarios where precision matters more than volume. That 20-inch barrel keeps things handy in brushy country while delivering the velocity the 450 needs. The 11/16-24 TPI threaded muzzle is a modern touch, letting you add your choice of brake, suppressor, or muzzle device. Setup is straightforward: the rifle comes drilled and tapped with Weaver-style bases, so you can mount your optic and glass your hunting areas within minutes.

Build quality is typical Mossberg—solid, unpretentious, and ready to work. The walnut stock is classic American, the matte blue finish is practical and subdued, and the whole package weighs in at 7 pounds unscoped. At 40.25 inches overall with a 13.75-inch length of pull, it shoulders naturally for most adult hunters. The 1:24 twist rate is optimized for 450 Bushmaster bullets, ensuring stability and consistent expansion. This is a rifle for hunters who know what they want and don't apologize for liking the 450—effective, honest, and built by a maker that understands the American hunting tradition.
