Mossberg 28257 Patriot Super Bantam w/Optic 350 Legend 4+1 22" Matte Blued Fluted Threaded Barrel, Matte Blued Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Adj LOP TrueTimber Strata Synthetic Stock, 3-9x40mm Duplex

The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam in 350 Legend is purpose-built for hunters and shooters with a smaller frame—whether you're a youth, petite adult, or introducing someone new to rifle hunting. This bolt-action rifle combines the proven reliability of Mossberg's full-size Patriot platform with a compact footprint and adjustable length of pull, making it an ideal choice for growing shooters or anyone who values a rifle that actually fits them. It comes ready to hunt with a 3-9x40mm Duplex scope mounted and sighted in, plus a 22-inch fluted threaded barrel for accuracy and a crisp adjustable trigger.

The 350 Legend cartridge is a straight-wall round gaining real traction for Midwestern deer and hog hunting, offering effective power in states with straight-wall rifle requirements. The Super Bantam's stock features a removable spacer that lets you dial in your ideal length of pull between 12 and 13 inches—critical for comfort, control, and shot placement when your rifle actually reaches your shoulder properly. The matte-blued finish and TrueTimber Strata camo stock handle field use without drawing attention, and the threaded barrel gives you the option to add a suppressor or muzzle device down the road if you choose.

Under the hood, you get the features that make the Patriot a working rifle: a spiral-fluted bolt for slick operation, a user-adjustable LBA trigger you can tune from 2 to 7 pounds, and a recessed match-grade barrel crown for consistent accuracy. The drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard Weaver-style rings and bases, so you can customize your optics setup if you ever swap scopes. At 7.5 pounds, it's light enough to carry all day without fatigue, and the 4+1 magazine capacity gives you quick follow-up shots when you need them.

If you hunt small to medium game, compete in youth or ladies' divisions, or simply prefer a rifle that fits your frame without compromise, the Patriot Super Bantam removes the excuse to settle for an ill-fitting hand-me-down. This is a real hunting rifle in a size that works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam good for youth or growing hunters?

Absolutely. The adjustable length of pull (12–13 inches with spacer), compact overall length (40.5 inches), and lighter weight (7.5 pounds) are specifically engineered for smaller-stature and growing shooters. You can dial in the perfect fit without buying a new rifle as they grow.

What is the 350 Legend, and where can I hunt with it?

The 350 Legend is a straight-wall rifle cartridge gaining popularity for deer and hog hunting, particularly in Midwestern states that require straight-wall rifles for hunting seasons. Check your local regulations, but it's an effective, legal option in many regions where traditional rifle cartridges aren't permitted.

Does this rifle come with a scope?

Yes. The Patriot Super Bantam is supplied with a 3-9x40mm Duplex scope mounted on Weaver-style bases and ready to sight in.

Can I add a suppressor or muzzle brake?

The threaded barrel is suppressor-ready, so you can add a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other muzzle device according to your local laws and preferences. The 22-inch fluted barrel also benefits from the noise and recoil reduction a suppressor offers.

What is the trigger adjustment range?

The user-adjustable LBA trigger can be tuned from 2 to 7 pounds, giving you control over trigger break weight to suit your shooting style and intended use.
