Mossberg Patriot .450 Bushmaster 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg Patriot .450 Bushmaster 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle delivers proven stopping power in a compact, reliable platform purpose-built for hunting large game and tactical applications. Chambered in the hard-hitting .450 Bushmaster cartridge, this rifle combines the inherent accuracy of a bolt-action design with the terminal performance demanded by serious hunters and tactical operators. At 8.6 lbs with a 20-inch barrel, it balances firepower with maneuverability—ideal for brush hunting, CQB scenarios, or rural property defense where intermediate rifle performance may be insufficient.

The bolt-action mechanism ensures consistent, mechanically reliable ignition with minimal moving parts to fail in adverse conditions—a cornerstone principle in military and law enforcement small arms design. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge fires a .452-inch, 250+ grain projectile at subsonic velocities, generating exceptional energy transfer and deep penetration through heavy cover, bone, and body armor. The 5-round magazine capacity supports rapid follow-up shots while maintaining control in high-stress engagements, and the 20-inch barrel optimizes velocity and handling without sacrificing the ballistic potential this powerful round demands. Mossberg's manufacturing heritage ensures tight tolerances and durability under repeated firing cycles.

This rifle suits hunters pursuing elk, moose, and other large ungulates where ethical, one-shot takedowns are paramount, as well as tactical professionals evaluating intermediate-power alternatives to 5.56 NATO in short-range, high-barrier scenarios. The compact 46.5-inch overall length fits confined spaces, vehicles, and close-quarters work without sacrificing sight radius or controls ergonomics. Standard Mossberg Patriot accessories and aftermarket components—including optic mounts, slings, and chassis systems—integrate seamlessly, allowing customization to match your mission profile or hunting application.
