Why shouldn’t I get a 450 bushmaster rifle?

like the title says, why shouldn’t I get a 450 bushmaster rifle?

 

[togmaster]

Why not?

 

[That_FNG]

Why not?

with your persuasive argument you have convinced me to get one my good sir

 

[Jem45472]

Because beowulf is bigger.

 

[kev74]

You should get one!

 

[Marine Cpl]

Because you aren't sure so that entails that you don't really need it.




Well not really.

 

[turbobike]

Just started a 450 build myself...going for a Colt 607 carbine look...w/ adjustable A-1 stock, basically a bolt and barrel change

 

[That_FNG]

Because beowulf is bigger.

Was thinking about that, but from what I see you can only get the ammo from Alexander arms, whereas a couple of manufacturers make 450 bushmaster. Plus there are a couple of options for a semi auto and bolt action 450 bushmaster.

I’m mainly looking for loud and recoil and maybe hunt deer if I ever get into hunting

Just giving you shit.
If I had my choice of the two I'd probably choose 450 for the same reasons.

If someone made an affordable bolt action rifle in 50 Beowulf and ammo was easily sourceable I’d get that instead lol

If you reload, the ammo is more affordable and easily available.

Is this you? This guy below wants a 7.5 inch .308 just for the same reasons you do. Intense fireballs and concussion.

[Edwardteach72]

Do it

Lol not me but I like the way he thinks

I don’t reload yet, but as far as I am aware you can only get new ammo from Alexander arms.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Because SOCOM.

If you were to start reloading, you could make your own for 1/3 to 1/2 of store bought.

As a plus, if you use a slow burning powder, you can maximize the fireball coming out the loud end.

And not that I would ever try something that isn't in a reloading book, but .... a little aluminum powder mixed in with the propellant would give a brighter flash.

I think you should get both!

Two numbers why not,they made a 6.8....

Or magnesium.

No, wait, that's an incredibly stupid idea.

Ruger American Ranch and the Ruger Gunsite Scout in 450.

I’m liking that ruger American in 450. Add a decent cheap scope and sling and it makes a nice brush/truck/beater deer gun

The price is pretty good too!

 

[That_FNG]

Well I got a 450 bushmaster on order! Can’t wait for it to come in

Did you get the Ruger American? If so, you are gonna love it. I have the American Ranch in 5.56 and It's a great rifle!

 

[Marine Cpl]

Are you going to cut the barrel down to 7 inches and add a brake?

I got the American ranch. I thought about the gun site scout but I didn’t feel it was worth twice the price.

 

[FrankenCub]

Because SOCOM.

I've been looking at this for months lol. If I thought it would group decent enough for deer and bear hunting I'd get one.
BCA AR-15 Complete Upper Assembly, 16" 4150 Parkerized Heavy Barrel, .458 Socom, Carbine Length Gas System, 1:14 Twist w/ 15" MLOK
I see some videos, people bitching about BCA barrels being junk, but then in the comments section people saying the BCA barrels they have shoot well.

Something in a belt fed model ..... perhaps?

I would have picked the scout. It looks killer in wood.
Glad you got one of them. I won't be buying nothing soon. Got a compliant M1A scout, last spring.

 

[meketrefe]

450 bushmaster for what purpose?
Do you already have bullets to perhaps share with other calibers if you reload?
If so, what about the socom although it has been a bitch to find brass.

But what about a mighty 358 winchester? That is a cartrige with big cojones and so easy to make a caveman can do it.
