Furthermore, the 1-in-7 rate of twist is specifically chosen to stabilize a broad spectrum of bullet weights, from lighter varmint rounds to heavier, duty-grade projectiles, ensuring superior accuracy and consistent performance across various ammunition types.

Designed with California compliance in mind, the Bushmaster Patrolman features a 10 + 1 round capacity, utilizing the included 10-round magazine.
