Nother new guy with a 450...

[MrRowdy]

Howdy all. Just joined the 450 club and am thrilled with this rifle. I had a DPMS carbine that I was using a Bushmaster Predator upper that I was going to use for predator hunting but saw the 450 and decided to get rid of the DPMS and buy a complete 450 carbine.

Anyhow, the consistency and accuracy of this rifle are superb. After checking the drop charts I decided to zero at 172 yards. My range is only set up for 100 yards so I zero'd at 3 inches high at 100 then mil'd the target and moved back into the weeds until my dots showed that I was at my zero range of 172 (give or take). I went prone and fired one shot and it was exactly 1/4" low and dead center on the target.

I was also surprised with how easy the recoil was. The only issue that I had was that it had a hard time locking up when dropping the carrier on the first round so I put in an extra power buffer spring and now it locks up easy and recoil is even softer.

I also slapped an Ace skeleton stock on with an Ergo grip to get it handling a little better.

I gotta admit that this is the friendliest rifle I've owned in a long time. Just can't wait to find a whitetail.

HOWDY MR. ROWDY! Welcome to our electronic Campfire!

[Ghost Dog]

Welcome Rowdy! If you've been following the site new guys get to make the smores and I'd let Dawg have the first one.

Welcome again! And there is no such thing as overkill when it is you thats being charged by a p***ed off 300 pound boar hog with tusks like David Bowies skinning knife. Having the AR platform with the bang-flop smack down of Rosie O Donnell jumping off the Empire State building to land on Bill Mayher....well the analogy may be ugly, but the results are the same.
