Mossberg 28238 Patriot w/Optic 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg 28238 Patriot w/Optic in .450 Bushmaster is a modern bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters and precision shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Combining heritage design with contemporary innovation, this full-size rifle arrives ready to shoot with a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope—eliminating the need for separate optic purchases or zeroing delays. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge delivers substantial energy for medium to large game at intermediate ranges, while the 20-inch threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices for shooters prioritizing noise reduction or recoil management in the field.

Built on Mossberg's proven platform, the Patriot features a spiral-fluted bolt and streamlined handle that reduce rotating mass and cycle smoothly under stress, while the recessed match-grade barrel crown ensures consistent accuracy round after round. The drilled and tapped matte-blued receiver accepts industry-standard scope rings and additional optics without gunsmithing, and the patented LBA user-adjustable trigger allows customization of break weight to suit individual preference and shooting discipline. The walnut fixed stock delivers classic aesthetics paired with proven rigidity, while the matte-blued finish resists corrosion and glare—essential for hunting environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Right-hand shooters benefit from intuitive controls and balanced handling at 4.78 pounds, making this rifle suitable for extended field use without fatigue. The included Vortex optic—backed by Vortex's lifetime warranty—provides sufficient magnification range for 100-yard target work and mid-range hunting scenarios. Handloaders will appreciate the tight chamber and match-crowned barrel, which reward precision ammunition preparation with sub-MOA groups. Compatibility with standard .450 Bushmaster ammunition and threaded-barrel suppressors positions this rifle as a versatile platform for hunting, target shooting, and tactical applications where intermediate-range precision and energy retention matter most.
