Now that the RAR in 450 has been out for a while, what do people who are shooting them think?
General impressions, accuracy, how are they holding up?
Any common issues?
What do you like, what would you change?
Thanks, Matt.

I only shot 12 rounds super sonic for 1 bear hunt and shot sub-sonic the rest of the time.....the Ruger 77 I have is a much better rifle....

Would you mind sharing which M77 in 450BM you currently own? I am in the market for a 450BM bolt rifle and believe in buy-once-cry-once.

I sent the Ruger 77 down the road and never fired a shot in it....action was as rough as a corn cob and very difficult working it for $1100 I expect much, much better quality rifle....I will not even look at a Ruger 77 Hawkeye now.....
If you buy a new Ruger 77 in 450 BM you will cry about spending good hard earned money on JUNK....
Only good thing I sold it for $2500 .....
Went and bought a Christensen Arms Ridgeline with carbon fiber barrel.....not very happy with it either.....I looked at there web site and many companies selling it trying to find out what the muzzle thread is it listed 1/2"-28 knew that was wrong.....so just ordered it figuring I could live with 5/8"-24 if that was the threads ....ended up getting one at a great price.....
After getting it discovered the threads are 3/4"-28 a odd ball that nobody makes a adapter for the Hybrid suppresser or any other suppresser....its just a odd ball thread why would a manufacture even think of using it when a 3/4"-24 is use by all suppresser and muzzle brake manufactures....I called Christensen Arms they didn't even know what thread size they used on the rifle.....
I cannot even have the threads changed to 5/8"-24 because its a carbon fiber barrel and the barrel nut is to large....if it was turned down the barrel would be trashed....seen it happen to a Browning carbon fiber barrel were the suppresser shot off the gun pulling the treads off.....
Cannot take a Hybrid muzzle cap 5/8"-24 and have it opened up to 3/4"-28 because there not enough metal to do it....
