About this product
What is the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam Youth .350 Legend 22″ Scoped? It's a compact bolt-action rifle chambered in .350 Legend with a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope, designed specifically for younger shooters or those needing a shorter length of pull. This configuration maintains the Patriot series' core features while reducing overall dimensions and weight for improved handling. The package includes adjustable ergonomics and out-of-the-box optics readiness.
What is the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam Youth .350 Legend 22″ Scoped used for?
This rifle is designed for youth hunters and smaller-framed shooters needing a compact platform for deer and medium game at ranges under 200 yards. The .350 Legend cartridge provides adequate energy for ethical takedowns while maintaining manageable recoil. The included 3-9x40mm scope allows for precise shot placement in wooded or open terrain.
How does the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam Youth .350 Legend 22″ Scoped compare to the Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle?
The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam outperforms the Stevens 334 in youth-specific ergonomics, offering an adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13 inches versus the Stevens' fixed 13.5-inch stock. However, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win provides flatter trajectory beyond 250 yards, making it better for open-country varminting. The Mossberg's .350 Legend delivers more energy at close range with less recoil impulse.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.5 pounds unloaded and measures 40.5 inches in overall length. The 22-inch fluted steel barrel contributes to weight distribution while maintaining rigidity. The synthetic stock adjusts through a 1-inch range to accommodate growing shooters or different body types.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for adult shooters with standard proportions who need full-length stocks or those hunting game larger than whitetail deer. The .350 Legend cartridge lacks the energy for elk or bear at extended ranges. Competition shooters requiring sub-MOA accuracy will find the factory trigger limiting compared to aftermarket options.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with mounted 3-9x40mm scope, one 4-round detachable box magazine, and Weaver-style bases. No additional magazines or cleaning tools are provided. The scope comes pre-zeroed at 100 yards, though final confirmation is recommended. All components ship in a single cardboard box with foam padding.
Is the Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam Youth .350 Legend 22″ Scoped worth it at $436.99?
At $436.99, this package delivers value for youth hunters needing a complete out-of-the-box solution. The included scope alone retails for approximately $120 if purchased separately. Compared to building a similar setup from components, you save roughly $80 in mounting and zeroing time. For adults seeking a primary hunting rifle, consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for greater versatility.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket scopes?
- Yes, it uses standard Weaver-style bases that accept most hunting scopes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws. I recommend Vortex or Leupold rings for optimal stability.
- Does it fit in a standard youth rifle case?
- Yes, it fits cases designed for 40-inch overall length rifles. The Pelican 1750 case provides 2 inches of clearance on all sides. Most hard cases under $100 will accommodate it.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days. Ground shipping takes 5-7 days to most continental US locations. Express options reduce transit to 2-3 days for an additional $35.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if the firearm is unfired and in original packaging. You must cover the $45 transfer fee to your local FFL. Customized or used firearms are not returnable.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- No, the 22-inch barrel isn't threaded for suppressors. You would need a gunsmith to thread it for approximately $150. The .350 Legend generates 142 decibels at the muzzle unsuppressed.
