Owners of the Mossberg Patriot in .450 Bushmaster generally appreciate it as a practical straight-wall cartridge rifle for hunting in states with cartridge restrictions. The walnut stock is well-regarded for its traditional look at this price point, and the combo package with the Vortex Crossfire II scope is seen as a good starting setup for field use. Fit and finish on the walnut models is considered better than average for a factory-priced bolt gun.

The 20-inch threaded barrel handles .450 Bushmaster recoil predictably, and the rifle balances well in the field. The trigger draws mixed reviews, with some owners finding it acceptable as shipped and others replacing it for a crisper break. Accuracy at hunting distances is consistently reported as reliable.

The Patriot's value proposition in .450 Bushmaster is frequently cited as one of the better-priced options in that chambering. The main complaint is the stock's finish and checkering quality, which some owners note feels slightly unfinished compared to higher-priced walnut rifles. The drilled-and-tapped receiver makes mounting optics straightforward.
