I am just about to order a 450 Bushmaster upper (the wifey gave approval of cashing in some discover card reward points for $650 in Cabelas gift card to buy 'some hunting stuff') and I was looking at accessories and had a few question I havent found in the forums..
1) Does the current model 450B have a place to mount a BUIS front sight? In some pics it appears that it has a small rail at the end of the forearm and in other pics there is no rail at all..
2) Has anyone tried the Pmag MBUS on their 450B upper? I would like to have some iron sights if something happens to my scope while hunting..
3) I have a Simmons Whitetail Classic scope (2.x-7ish) in Warne ultra high QD tactical rings.. After reading different post about ppl recommending shotgun/muzzleloading scopes - I wonder if this scope will be able to handle the 450b..
4) Has anyone used the 'knock off' red dot scopes (like from 1337 tactical, SPOT, Primary Arms, etc) on a 450b with success? I have the Bushnell 1x32 trijicon looking red dot on a RCS 22 upper that I really like but didnt know they could withstand the recoil..
changing topics to reloading
I currently do not reload BUT have a neighbor that does.. Is there anything 'special' about the 450B that makes it difficult to reload for? He has never reloaded for any semi-auto rifles/pistols - Is there a difference in bolt and semi reloading?
thanks
