Awesome!!!  I've decided to get the Bushmaster .450 with 16" barrel as well!  However, not sure when the funds will allow me to get it.  Any pictures of your rig?  Curious on your scope and mount set up?

Here are some pics I took a few weeks ago..

Since then I thought I needed more eye relief so I put a Nikon Omega Muzzleloader 3-9 scope on it (on sale at Natachzss for $139).. I am using Warne QD Ultra High Tactical rings and it has a CAA 6 position stock on it.. I added the Limbsaver recoil pad and it helps tame the recoil quite nicely





Its a fun gun to shoot..

I have also replaced the original trigger with a RRA 2 stage trigger - that makes a lot of difference in accuracy alone

Nice Rifle!  I just ordered my 16'' upper!  Early Merry Christmas to me!   I plan on putting it on my bushmaster predator lower with the 2 stage trigger and hogue grip.

Anyone know if I'll need to change out my buffer tube? or will the standard A2 buffer be ok?

The 2 stage trigger I got with my predator is pretty good.  But I do have an AER-15 RRA Entry Tactical with the RRA 2 stage trigger as well, which I admit I do  like better!  

Does the RRA trigger drop right in? Is there any adjusting or anything?

it was a straight drop in/exchange and does not have any way to adjust it.. I did the exchange myself and really wasnt sure what I was doing but I got it down..

you wont have to change anything.. From reading on here it appears that some cheaper collapsible stocks (ie CAA like I have) wont hold up to the punishment.. I got 1 box of shells thru mine and no problems yet..
