Chambered in .350 Legend, the Patriot Super Bantam Carbine from Mossberg trims down to fit smaller-statured and growing shooters. The bolt-action rifle carries an 18-inch medium bull barrel with a threaded muzzle, and feeds from a detachable 4+1 drop-box magazine. Its synthetic Multicam stock adjusts for length of pull, and the metal is finished in brown Cerakote.

Owners of the Patriot Super Bantam line generally like that it lets a smaller-statured or younger shooter run a full-power cartridge like .350 Legend in a rifle actually sized for them, rather than just cutting down an adult stock. The adjustable length of pull and LBA trigger get regular praise for making the rifle easy to fit as a young shooter grows, and the bolt action itself is seen as reliable and simple to maintain.

In the field, the shorter barrel and compact dimensions make the rifle easy to carry and maneuver in a blind or stand, though some hunters note that a shorter barrel on a straight-wall cartridge like .350 Legend trades a bit of velocity for handiness. The threaded muzzle is a popular feature among owners who want to add a suppressor or brake down the line.

Value is a consistent theme with the Patriot line: shooters point to the drop-box magazine, adjustable trigger, and Picatinny rail as features that usually cost more on other bolt guns. The tradeoff some owners mention is that the factory stock, while adjustable, does not feel as refined as an aftermarket chassis once the shooter grows into a full-size rifle.
