Mossberg is now providing its Patriot bolt-action rifle in 400 Legend. It was meant to assist out hunters in states which have straight-walled cartridge legal guidelines. 400 Legend has spectacular down-range penetration energy, good accuracy, and intensely low recoiling. The spherical is good for deer, and different North American large sport hunts akin to hogs and close-cover bears. The 400 Legend Patriot bolt-action rifle is now out there in two completely different variations. One model comes with a walnut inventory, and the opposite is available in a black artificial inventory. Each variations of the rifle include a matte blue end. These two new rifles are based mostly on Mossberg’s confirmed twin-lug push-feed machined-steel actions. The barrels are free-floated 20″ carbon-steel barrels which can be threaded (11/16”-24 threads per inch) for ease of including a muzzle system or suppressor. The ends of the barrels even have a machined 11-degree match crown for improved efficiency. The rifles feed from a flush polymer journal with a 4+1 capability. For simpler scope mounting the Patriot rifles include weaver-style bases as nicely.

Launched by Winchester Ammunition earlier this yr, the 400 Legend is a straight-walled cartridge described as having power equal to the 450 Bushmaster however with 20% much less recoil; 20% extra power than the 30-30 Win; 25% extra power than the 350 Legend with higher penetration; and 100% extra power than a 12-gauge slug at 100 yards with 55% much less recoil. This versatile cartridge gives deep penetration, wonderful accuracy, and environment friendly knockdown energy for medium to large sport animals at mid ranges of 200 to 250 yards.
