Curios to hear more about this rifle. How is the recoil on it? How accurate is it? I know you just got it and probably didn't have enough time to shoot it so please tell us more after you try it.

have you shot that beast yet? I'm interested in one myself. All reports I've read have been good.

I rolled the dice and purchased a Ruger American in 450 Bushmaster Saturday. I hope to get it scoped soon. Maybe we can compare notes here. Might be awhile before I can get a scope. How ours shoot great!

I don't think you rolled any dice - from what I've seen of the American's I'd say you made a solid purchase. (for all of you on smart phones; that smiley is the beer mugs, not the frown!!!)

Sighting in my rifle at 100 yards for the first time. first shot was in white ring, 2-4 was in red ring, 5-6 was in the center circle. Got to dark to see after that, but looks to me very accurate. Just a little fine tuning left to do. Used factory Hornaday 250 gr FTX Ammo

Recoil was like a 20ga shotgun. Wasn't bad at all. Wife and daughter were on both sides of me and had to get behind me. Even with hearing protection it was very loud coming out of the sides of the muzzle break. Wasn't bad for me at all. lol...So if you shoot it on the range and others are beside you, they might move when you get ready to shoot. lol

Congratulations!
I knocked 3 down with mine last year. Two dropped where they stood and the other went 30yds. I love that gun.

can't wait to get back to the range to make final adjustments on my scope. Last 2 shots were just coming in, and its was so dark I couldn't see very well to finish adjusting scope. Shots 2-4 got me excited on how well it was grouping them. Shot 5 was looking good but I pulled on shot 6 because I was in a rush due to low light conditions. Just for fun even with low light, I quickly shot at a metal plate at 200 yards and drilled it. This gun is excellent, can't wait to deer hunt with it.

Looks great! Can't wait to shoot mine. I finally got a scope a Leupold VX-3i 2-8x36. Hoping to get to shoot in the next couple weeks. Waiting on the hay to be cut where I shoot at.

It's been a while since we've seen you post. Congratulations on the gun and scope. It's a fun one to hunt with. It did have a bit more recoil than I was expecting. I thought it would shoot like other ARs, but packs a big bang. I have other hunting rifles, but this one won my heart; it's hard to use anything else. I did upgrade my scope from 3x to 5x, but three was plenty for my area.
