Randy's Hunting Center in Bad Axe has worked out an exclusive deal to get Ruger American bolt-action rifles chambered in .450 Bushamaster. They work great for deer hunting and are legal for the entire state, including the Zone 3 "shotgun/limited firearm zone". They are priced right at $529 for a 16" barrel with a threaded muzzle and will soon be getting 22" standard barrel models in for $499. Just wanted to let everyone know about a great new option for deer season!

Why not just buy a .450 bushmaster upper for your AR-15 lower? What advantage is there to a bolt action in .450 Bushmaster? Would a bolt action in .460 S&W Magnum be a better choice, etc...?

I haven't had as good of luck with changing the upper out on my AR rifles. It doesn't appear to be as accurate as these bolt action rifles. Also, it doesn't produce the same muzzle velocity as it uses some of the pressure to cycle the action. Nobody makes a .460 S&W in a bolt-action rifle. CVA tried making a single shot and couldn't make it shoot. A friend of mine had a T/C Encore in .460 but while shooting it, it broke bases, rings, and broke three scopes! (Two Nikon and a Leupold). Plus it kicked like a mule! I prefer the .450 because it recoils similar to a 20 gauge slug gun and the 16" model can accept a brake from Mag-Na-Port for $150 that makes it super easy to shoot!

Bolt gun is lighter more compact.

Genuinely curious as to why the axis is a better deal in your mind?

It's tough to beat the Ruger American for accuracy.
