So I got an e-mail receipt today from Bushmaster for the .450 upper I ordered in 2012 (they were a little behind on their orders). I built a lower for it long ago. UPS says it should be delivered tomorrow.
Time to go scope shopping.

Wow. I know I started looking for an upper in 2012 and finally found one at the Oct. '13 1500. I'm going to guess you probably paid less for yours than what I paid. It really did suck waiting for an upper when I had a built lower sitting in the safe for over a year. Recoil isn't bad at all. I love mine. Can't wait for nicer weather so I can stretch its legs a bit. Here's my finished 450.

Very nice. I got mine for just under 900, and have about 200 in the lower.. I really liked the Remington rifles also, you're talking serious coin for one of those though.

Here she is. Went with a Bushnell Banner 3x9x50 with illuminated reticle. I have a couple of other rifles with Banners on them, and they seem to be pretty good scopes for their price range. Hoping for good weather tomorrow for sighting in the scope.
Planning on (hopefully) taking it on a bear hunt this May..

UPS says it should be delivered tomorrow. Time to go scope shopping. Man, that seems like a long time to wait. I'd sure like to get one of these. I think I'm moving it to the top of my list. What kind of lower did you put on it?

I love the butt stock that you have on yours, may have to look into that one.

I love the butt stock that you have on yours, may have to look into that one. The PRS is a bit salty but having an adjustable length of pull and cheek rest is nice. There is also a picatinny rail on the bottom (have to remove a piece from the stock to see it) to mount a monopod on or other stuff if needed. I don't use it though.
