I too just talked to Cabela's, in fact I just got off the phone. They officially told me several things. They are re-ordering all they can get from Bushy, that Bushmaster has been and is currently gearing up their 450 production rate, that if I ordered today and assuming that Bushy doesn't increase production (which they are), it'd be something like August before shipping. So it would prolly be sooner than Aug, because of increased production. The man said sales for the 450b were VERY Brisk and he said so with emphasis. He also looked up the numbers and though he would tell me the numbers on re-order, he did tell me the sales are 8 to 1 more 450's than Beowulf's. Also at $549 for the 450b vs $749 for the 50b, the man I talked to, "Speculated" an end to the 50b, at least with Cabela's anyway.. Just Speculation here guys, no fact at all..
Hope this helps. For you guys that ordered some time ago, well, you're in ALLOT better shape than if I ordered today..
