Description
The Mossberg Patriot 350 Legend 22-inch Walnut Vortex Rifle is a full-size bolt action that pairs traditional American walnut with a 1:16″ twist, fluted barrel, and a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40. It’s a hunting and target rig that gives you sub-MOA potential out of the box without breaking the bank.

Key Features
- Spiral-Fluted Bolt & Barrel: Reduces rotational mass and surface friction. Why it matters: Smoother cycling means faster follow-ups and less fatigue on a long day at the range or in the field.
- LBA User-Adjustable Trigger: Factory-set at ~3.5 lbs, adjustable down to 2 lbs. Why it matters: A crisp, predictable break eliminates trigger-induced flinch — critical for precision shots on game or paper.
- Threaded Muzzle with Match Crown: 5/8-24 threads and a recessed crown. Why it matters: Run a suppressor or brake without losing accuracy; the crown protects rifling from damage during cleaning or transport.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 Scope Included: Dead-hold BDC reticle, fully multi-coated lenses. Why it matters: No extra glass budget — you get a proven, clear optic that holds zero and tracks reliably for hunting and competition.
- Drop-Box Magazine: Detachable polymer box with flush fit. Why it matters: Quick reloads without fumbling, and the drop-box design prevents snagging on gear or brush.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the straight-wall cartridge shooter who wants a do-it-all bolt gun — deer hunting in restricted zones, steel-plate matches, or just punching paper at 200 yards. If you’re a reloader who values a 1:16 twist for 180-grain projectiles, or a hunter who needs a light, accurate platform that won’t break your back on a long hike, this Patriot fits.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with factory ammo — the fluted barrel and LBA trigger deliver consistent groups.
- Pro: Included Vortex scope saves $150–$200 over buying separately, and Vortex’s lifetime warranty is no-hassle.
- Con: The factory trigger is adjustable, but the adjustment screw is small and requires a hex key — not as quick as some aftermarket triggers from Timney or Geissele.
- Con: The walnut stock is attractive but lacks a bedding pillar or aluminum chassis — accuracy may shift slightly under heavy sling pressure or in wet conditions.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the Mossberg Patriot 350 Legend?
The barrel has a 1:16″ twist rate, which stabilizes standard .350 Legend bullets from 150 to 180 grains. It works well with both Hornady FTX and Winchester Deer Season XP loads.
Does the rifle come with scope rings or bases?
Yes. The Mossberg Patriot ships with Weaver-style bases already mounted. The Vortex Crossfire II scope uses these bases — you just need to install the included rings.
Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?
Absolutely. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, and the muzzle is recessed with a match crown. Most .30-cal suppressors will thread on directly. Just ensure your can is rated for .350 Legend pressures.
Is the trigger adjustable without a gunsmith?
Yes. The LBA trigger has a hex screw under the trigger shoe. Turn it clockwise to increase pull weight, counterclockwise to decrease. A 1/16″ hex key is all you need. Per Mossberg specs, the safe adjustment range is 2–5 lbs.
What is the magazine capacity?
The detachable drop-box magazine holds 4 rounds of .350 Legend. It is flush-fitting and releases via a button in front of the trigger guard.
