Good morning fellow members.
I have just recently bought my first 450Bushmaster chambered gun. It is a CVA Hunter. I have owned many big bore guns in the past,including 458Lott,416Rigby,500S&W rifle,45-90Express,multiple 45-70's,and the list goes on.
I am getting older now (70) and have sold most of the above. Consolidation is the name of the game for me now. I still have multiple AR guns,in both the small frame and large frame size. I am already thinking about a 450/AR in my future. This single shot will be a fun gun. Planning on shooting heavy hardcast at sub speeds. And possibly jacketed as fast as possible out of the 25 inches of bbl.
I am retired USN and "worked" as a Master Maine Guide for 20 years.
The older I got,the colder it got,so moved "back home" to extreme NW Fla. Enjoy reloading and at one time,reloaded for over 20 different chamberings,in both pistol and rifle. Now . . down to about 9.
Me and a friend hunt hogs at night with the aid of thermal sights,both mounted and handheld viewers. My thermal is on a AR/6.8SPCII,18",and my buddy uses a 16" 300BLK suppressed. We kill about 150-200 hogs per year in the peanut,cotton,and soy bean fields. We also kill quite a few coyotes at night using the thermal "advantage". I tell people - -> "NOTHING escapes thermal."
Glad to be a member here and will try to both learn and teach. Stay safe in this crazy world. --- SAWMAN
