Mossberg Patriot Predator .400 Legend 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg Patriot Predator .400 Legend 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle is purpose-built for hunters and tactical shooters seeking a modern rifle chambered in the increasingly popular .400 Legend cartridge. This compact bolt-action platform delivers the accuracy and reliability demanded by predator hunters and those transitioning to an intermediate cartridge that bridges the gap between traditional small-game loads and full-power rifle rounds. At 8.82 lbs with a 20-inch barrel, the Patriot Predator balances portability with practical field performance, making it ideal for hunters working dense cover or those requiring a lightweight, maneuverable rifle for extended backcountry use.

Built on Mossberg's proven Patriot action, this rifle features a smooth, controlled round feed bolt mechanism that ensures reliable chambering and extraction in field conditions—critical for predator and varmint hunting where clean kills demand unwavering mechanical function. The 20-inch barrel length optimizes muzzle velocity for the .400 Legend cartridge while maintaining a compact overall profile of 46.2 inches, reducing weight penalty and improving handling in tight hunting scenarios. The five-round capacity provides adequate firepower for follow-up shots without excess bulk, and the bolt-action design delivers inherent accuracy potential through direct firing pin strike and minimal bolt flex. Mossberg's machining standards ensure tight tolerances that support precision shooting at typical predator ranges.

Predator hunters, coyote control specialists, and shooters exploring the .400 Legend platform will find the Patriot Predator addresses real-world field demands: lightweight carry over long distances, reliable function in variable conditions, and inherent accuracy for clean target acquisition. The rifle's modular Patriot design accepts standard aftermarket triggers, scope rings, and mounting systems, allowing customization to match individual shooting preferences and optic selections. Law enforcement and tactical training facilities also value Mossberg bolt-actions for precision rifle instruction. Verify local hunting regulations regarding .400 Legend use in your jurisdiction, as ammunition availability and legal status vary by region; consult your state fish and wildlife agency before purchase.
