Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam .350 Legend Muddy Girl 4+1

The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam .350 Legend Muddy Girl 4+1 is a compact, youth- and small-stature-friendly bolt-action rifle that delivers the straight-wall stopping power of .350 Legend in a package that actually fits the shooter.

Key Features

• Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) — The stock includes a removable spacer that lets you dial in fit from 12.5 to 13.5 inches. Why it matters: proper LOP means consistent cheek weld, better recoil management, and faster target acquisition for growing or smaller-statured shooters.
• Fluted, Threaded Barrel — The 18-inch barrel is fluted for weight reduction and heat dissipation, and threaded 1/2×28 for muzzle devices. Why it matters: you can mount a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith, and the fluting keeps the rifle light enough for all-day carry.
• Spiral-Fluted Bolt — The bolt body is spiral-fluted to reduce friction and cycling effort. Why it matters: smoother bolt throw under field conditions, especially with gloved hands or when speed matters on a follow-up shot.
• User-Adjustable LBA Trigger — The Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) trigger is adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds via an external screw. Why it matters: you can tune the break weight to your preference without tools—critical for precision shooting with .350 Legend’s mild recoil.
• Drop-Box Magazine and Included Optic — A detachable box magazine (4+1 capacity) plus a 3-9x40mm scope pre-mounted. Why it matters: the optic gets you on target immediately, and the magazine allows fast reloads in the field.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the young hunter, the smaller-statured adult, or anyone who wants a lightweight, short-action straight-wall rifle for deer or hogs in states requiring .350 Legend. It’s also a solid option for a first precision bolt gun—the adjustable trigger and threaded barrel let you grow into it without buying another rifle.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Sub-6-pound weight makes it ideal for long hikes or youth shooters.
• Pro: Threaded barrel and included scope reduce upfront cost.
• Con: The factory 3-9×40 optic is adequate for hunting but not built for sub-MOA precision at long range—plan to upgrade if you’re chasing groups under 1 MOA.

The Mossberg edges ahead with its lighter weight and adjustable LOP—critical for smaller shooters—and the included optic makes it a true all-in-one package. The Ruger has a shorter barrel but lacks an included scope; the Savage is heavier and has a fixed stock.

FAQ

Is the .350 Legend legal for deer hunting in straight-wall states?

Yes. The .350 Legend is specifically designed to meet straight-wall cartridge regulations in states like Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Always check your local regulations, but this is one of the most popular straight-wall options for whitetail.

Can I mount a suppressor on the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard thread pitch for .350 Legend and .223/5.56 suppressors. You’ll need a direct-thread mount or QD adapter that matches 1/2×28.

What is the actual length of pull range?

Per Mossberg specs, the LOP adjusts from 12.5 inches (with spacer removed) to 13.5 inches (with spacer installed). This fits most youth shooters ages 10-14 and smaller adults.

Does the included 3-9×40 scope hold zero on a .350 Legend?

Yes, for typical hunting use. The .350 Legend produces mild recoil (similar to a .223), so the factory scope is adequate for shots inside 200 yards. If you plan to shoot beyond that or want tighter groups, consider upgrading to a scope with a more robust reticle.

What is the magazine capacity and type?

The rifle uses a detachable drop-box magazine with a 4+1 capacity (4 in the mag, 1 in the chamber). It’s a single-stack design that feeds .350 Legend reliably.
