450 Bushmaster Upper

[GreaseMonkeySRT]

Damn, I just bought a 450 bushmaster upper from them last month for $350, I thought that was going to be a hard price to beat. Looks like I can get the same one now for $260 shipped.

x3. I'm stuck between getting an upper, or a dedicated .450 Bushmaster gun like the Ruger American.

That was my debate a while back, and went the Ruger American route as BCA's reviews have always been dismal at best. I know I can resell or get service on the Ruger if I have to. I can't say the same for a BCA upper.
It's been out in the field a few times this year, and has done it's job quite well.

Politics. I was going for the Scout, wood stocked, then a certain someone on my SoCal Christmas card list has been making the point that nobody hunts with an AR. So to make my point, an upper it is. But I cannot tell him until I harvest.

It’s like, I have a hunting handgun, but I can’t make the claim of being a “Handgun Hunter” until I actually harvest game with it.

How is it ?

x2!

I have not fired it yet, I still need to buy some ammo for it. I can take some pictures of it if you want some "real life" pictures.

Everything I saw about their 450 was good

Haha that's the exact reason I want to get an AR upper instead of the Ruger American. That, and it might save me $150 bucks.

I've hunted with both, the .450 AR and now a .450 Ruger American. Give me the bolt action all day long. To me, an AR in a deer stand is noisy, clunky and generally uncomfortable (unless perhaps it's a muzzled sbr) YMMV.

class it up with a wood stock, some lib anti gun, anti hunters, or just fudds from a distance do not know an ar15 if it has a wood stock.

Post a pic with a giant buck, wood stock ar15, and see what happens.

if these are half decent this is very tempting, I have some spikes lowers laying around for over a year. This would be nice if it is anywhere near 1 MOA. Seems too good to be true.

I can't speak for BCA, but this is shot 6, 7, and 8, literally out of the box, throw a 3x9 on top, Ruger machining oil and all. I was planning to draw a snake through it and realized at the range I left it on the bench.
This is with Hornady's custom 250g FTX ammo.
