I just got my 450 Ruger Bushmaster. I like the subsonic aspect of it. I never liked the massive noise that rifles make. And I do not like hundreds of yards at shooting game. Archer by nature. I always felt that if I can't get within 50 to 100 yards of the animal that I am hunting. Then. I am not hunting. So. I wanted a tool to get the job done without scaring everything and everyone within a couple hundred yards and not 1 mile or more. Just saying.

I know you guys up north won’t believe this but down here in the highly populated NC , we can use any caliber rifle we want , but all of my friends, even me have bought this same gun , scope , setup , and there is a reason why , just because you have a bolt gun doesn’t mean you can go out with factory ammo and shoot one inch groups at a hundred , but every one of these guns that we see shot will do exactly that , great accuracy and in a light gun , is not something that we have always had , and it is not something now , that we have to wish for because we have it. We are taking the muzzle breaks off and putting it n the safe , and hunting , shooting without it , this is easier on the ears and the kick is not as bad as a shotgun.

Michigan AmBush Outdoors yes they are and some guns a small amount , and some guns very little, most of the guys are zeroing at sixty to seventy yards and at that distance,,very little difference, that is with the 450 bushmaster caliber but if you have a creedmoor it will change a little bit more especially when they sight those in at one or two hundred yards , I have worn out two ruger mark two 260 Remingtons , and yes they will kill deer , but expect to trail them a long ways sometimes and that doesn’t work for people in bluff country or people who hunt small tracts who’s neighbors don’t want them to get on there lands ,,don’t get one is my advice , I’m old and it took me a long time to learn that bigger is way better when it comes to bullets. However that 6.5 is a wonderful caliber for coyotes

If you really want to see how good the gun will group , just get two sand bags , one in the front at the sling stud , the other at the back sling stud and then don’t ever touch the barrel with anything while you are shooting , relax , hold your breath , at a half of capacity, and just squeeze the trigger slowly while the cross hairs are settled on bullseye , another great tip is to put an empty cartridge in the chamber and teach your self how to squeeze off the trigger and shot , without making or letting the cross hairs move off bullseye , now this is how to learn to shoot really good.

Michigan AmBush Outdoors I am 64 and started reloading at seven years old, I have had guns that would shoot in one hole all day at a hundred , once you own one of these , you know exactly how good the shooter is when he shoots it , I can look at where someone’s bullet hits , and tell him exactly what he did wrong , and I will tell you I have already shot three different guns like you have there and every one of them were capable of five eights size groups with factory ammo at one hundred yards so you have a great gun and soon you will master it. Remember to practice dry firing with a spent cartridge in chamber. And pay close attention to where the cross hairs end up ,, you will figure out how to make them end up on the bullseye
