Ruger MSR 450BM for $699

Postby MOOSE EARS » Thu Nov 29, 2018 5:53 pm

Rural King Guns has the Ruger AR556 450BM for $699. I couldn't resist. With tax and shipping ($12.99), $760 to the house (FFL holder). Good deal? Anybody tried one?

Thanks Moose Ears! I just ordered one after seeing your post. :D

$699, That's a great value. Shot my buddy's 450 AR platform in Michigan and really liked the accuracy and the pure devastation too.

I looked at the Ruger at a local gun show Saturday. $800 plus tax was the price for the rifle. You did good.

I found a better deal and cancelled the RK Guns order. Grab A Gun has it for $679 plus $7.99 shipping and sales tax!

Moose Ears you are one heck of a gun shopper! You gotta great deal! Thanks for the link, their website was not very easy to navigate. The good news for me is RK Guns is not charging $59 in Texas sales tax.

Looking forward to your range report. Well, since you cancelled I'll plan on sharing my Range Report after Christmas. Mrs. Claus has the scope under the tree.

Well I passed up this deal also. They claim a 1:16 twist barrel. I had read somewhere else they were 1:24 twist. I've lost interest in the Ruger.

don't let the 16t steer you away.

My #1 has a 10t which we all thought WTH was Ruger thinking, but man she's a shooter.

That's interesting, a 1:10 twist. All I have experience with is the 1:24 and they shoot big bugholes with 225-250gr FTX bullets. I had read earlier posts where the results were not in favor of the 1:16 twist. I've generally had good experience with all my Ruger products and didn't understand exactly why the 1:16 barrels used on these. I was sure I had read where the twist was 1:24 but the Ruger website says 1:16. I'm not sure what to make of it all :?

I bought one of those Rural King bargains. Weather hasn’t allowed any kind of sight-in time yet. But I did get to send a half dozen rounds downrange to check fit and function and all seemed well.
