yes JCoop - I did type $799 - When i decided I had to have a 450B I waited until October thinking they may put it on sale, but when the didnt I ordered it from Cabelas.. the Bushmaster sale is a GREAT sale...
As far as scopes go, a lot of ppl recommend using shotgun/muzzleloader scopes that are made to handle the extra recoil. I had a 2.5 to 7 simmons whitetail classic I was going to use, but it only had 3" of eye relief and I was a little scared that eye relief wasnt going to be enough..I am using a Nikon Prostaff 2-7 on my muzzle loader and it has about 3.5 to 4" eye relief, but I ended up putting a Nikon Omega 3-9 (non bdc) on the 450B and it has a 5" eye relief.. the omega was on sale at Natchezss for $139..
