Ruger continues to grow its line of AR-15 caliber compatible American bolt-action Ranch rifles with the addition of a new model chambered for the straight cased .450 Bushmaster cartridge. With performance comparable to the venerable .45-70 Gov't., the .450 Bushmaster "thumper" round provides a decisive big bore solution for close range hunting. Fitted with a 3-round removable magazine, this version of the Ranch rifle arrives with an impressive muzzle brake installed on the threaded muzzle of the 16.1" barrel that effectively manages the stout recoil generated by this round. Other features include a Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock, one-piece optics rail and Ruger's Marksman Adjustable Trigger system.
Great price and am using it as dedicated subsonic rifle…
I really like this rifle. It is very accurate with the right ammo. Trigger is very good. My only complaint is that the ammo sometimes catches while cycling the bolt. I don't care; it still works really good. 450 BM is a short, fat cartridge. This is not a $1500 gun. Very light, easy to carry. If you don't like the amount of recoil 450 BM then toughen up. It's really not bad.
It’s not a bad gun at all for the price. Not the most accurate gun in the world, but not inaccurate, and it seems reliable so far after 60 rounds. I put a Boyd's thumbhole stock on it and it looks great.
This gun worked flawlessly out of the box.
This rifle carries easily, functions flawlessly, and shoots lights out!! Great little rifle .
After mounting a scope and sighting in, I was shooting 1 1/2 groups at 125 yards. The only issue I have is that the forearm of the stock is not straight, and contacts the barrel with a good deal of pressure.
