a 450 bushy lever gun?
oh it's a silly hunting law gun, Ruger announced a 450 scout, guess that explains that |

They just started a couple years ago allowing a cartridge .35 or greater with a case length between 1.18 and 1.8 inches and has to be straight walled. 450 Bushmaster or 50 Beowulf in an AR15 and 450 Raptor in and AR10. You can use this in the "shotgun zone" now. View Quote |

Cool
I purchased one in 45/70 about a month ago. Seems to be built fairly well. I do feel that a better trigger pull would be good. How does your trigger feel now compared to stock? |

I've never hunted in a State with weird laws like that. I've always used the following.
Rifle: .243 Winchester .270 Winchester .308 Winchester .30-06 Springfield .45-70 Government Handgun: .357 Magnum .41 Magnum .44 Magnum .45 ACP .45 Colt 10mm Auto .40 S&W Used bolt actions, lever actions, semi-autos (for both rifle and pistol), and revolvers. But cool that there is a Lever Action in a modern cartridge. |

As a self-proclaimed fudd, what are you doing with a pic rail on your fudd gun? Shouldn't you be soiling yourself in a corner over the evil black militaristic feature that cheapens the value of your classic guns and has no business being in civilian hands?

I like it. I really want someone to mass produce some lever guns in modern automatic handgun cartridges.
|
|
How is the .450 Bushy different from the .450 Marlin performance wise?
|
|
Yep....Michigan has some strange laws in the "shotgun zone". They base it off of case length rather than cartridge length, silly that you can't use a 45-70.
The trigger on this one is nice and crisp, 3 pounds. I have the "Happy Trigger" on a few other Marlins, absolutely love them. |

Pure sex.
I've been using my muzzleloader for the shotgun zone. For a minute was tempted to pickup a ruger 44/70. I now own property above the line. |

I just looked it up and it appears to have a case length of Min: 2.095" and Max: 2.105". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Got it. Is there any science to these rules, or are they arbitrary decisions by non-shooting political appointees? I recall IN and maybe IA have similar nonsensical laws. I'd rather have a high-velocity rifle round bouncing around than a slow-moving thumb-sized lead chunk. The chunk won't break up. View Quote |

I put a 1-4x on my SOCOM.
458 drops like a rock after 150 yards. 450 is similar, you might want a 1x in case you gotta shoot things close. |

Why not just 4570? View Quote In MN I hunt with a 14" 458 SOCOM AR pistol in shotgun zone because of the stupid laws. Also because they changed the laws a few years ago I can hunt with any center fire over .222 Caliber, so that 25 ACP Raven is legal for deer hunting. |

Very nice looking rifle, and I agree with the 1-4 optic suggestion.

I had Ranger chop down a 95 and thread it. They were not inexpensive, and lacked the ability to class 3 it (so would install a sub 16" barrel on it even if I had papers and engraving-they would cut everything and send me back the parts, go figure). Anyway, it became a 16.25" build, good work.
ATF law is funny. If I have a pile of parts, they can constructively assemble them and make me a felon. But apparently I can not get the paperwork done and and have my construction assembled sbr worked on by a gunsmith. |

You could definitely saved a ton of money, but kudos for hunting with the gun you want to hunt with. View Quote But, I absolutely love deer hunting with lever action rifles. Some folks piss money away on casinos, golf, whatever....I sure didn't need it either. Have been super successful using hopped up 45LC and 44 Magnum carbines. I recognize that the only person impressed by this is me ![]() "Life is short, shoot cool stuff" |
