Ruger American Ranch 450 Bushmaster Rifle

- The Ruger American Ranch in 450 Bushmaster is a heavy hitter, I had so much fun using it in combination with the Leupold Mark AR 450 Bushmaster CDS scope. A great combo for anyone looking for a rifle to take large game.

Check out our review of the Marlin 45-70: ruclips.net/video/ePkg90XoUkw/видео.html
The sound the empty round ejection makes with every cycle is really cool lol
Great review Ozzie , love the camera vision. It’s great that the big manufacturers like Ruger sell relatively cheap reliable hunting rifles for the hard working budget conscious working class hunters and new shooters just getting started in shooting and hunting . We are getting a lot of value for our $$$ these days in regards to firearms .
Yeah I was thinking exactly that as I was shooting with this rifle Jim
Where I live this gun is under $500, and the ammo is about $1 per round. It's pretty awesome...
Thank for your review, I just bought one so thank and a larger clip would be great 👍 👌 i like your shooting out to 300 yards makes me feel confident in taking a 300 yard shot
Great review and thanks for taking the time to post this video.
My pleasure Rob
Now there's so called knock down power. Good stuff!
Cracking gun and an equally cracking video. Thanks very much mate.
You’re welcome glad you liked it
They are a fun gun. Love mine.
I got the same set up can’t wait for opening day
Your smile says it all.
Nice rifle and great shooting thanks for posting keep shooting brother
Got The 7.62 model and with 10 rounds is great on pigs. Nicely balanced and the trigger is nice. Stock is a hard where I prefer a Hogue stock.
I purchased a 450 bushmaster package from cleavers...hog hammer, American ruger in boyds stock, lucky thirteen 9 shot mag and turkey plex scope...nice set up...havnt shot any pigs yet but vapourized a few rabbits for shits and giggles...bit like your watermelon shots......I polished the bolt and breach and adjusted trigger spring ...sweet now...bolt glides with out that horrible sound of the rough machining finish and trigger breaks around 2lb- 2.5lb.. now onto next project , howa 1500 in 300 win mag ..into MDT ESS chassis for the long shots..keep up the great reveiws mate...
Nice one Ozzie! Top stuff as always 👍
Thanks Dan
I feel your pain at the price you need to pay. I picked up my Ruger American 450 in camo and tan cerakote for under 400 bucks ammo here in US is 1.50 a round. Getting 5 shot group at 100 yards of 3/4 to 1 in. Enjoy your new toy.
Another great review.
Well time to make room in the safe and start reloading for this much fun.
The American Ranch are neat little rifles. I have the 7.62x39 version.
if this had a 10 round mag, i'd likely be in with both feet. as it is. i love big bullets, and my chiapps 1886 12inch take down takes 3 in the tube. 45-70 and 450 bushmaster are awesome bush rounds. great job on the review.
Lucky 13 do a magazine for the 243 and 308 Ruger American rifles which fit this and holds 9 rounds.
I have one also and love it. It shoots 5 rounds into one ragged hole at 100 yards and has been my "Go to" deer rifle for years now. No more tracking. If your a handloader it really becomes interesting. Without the limitations of the AR action you can step up the loads safely. I'm currently shooting a Hornady 225gr. FTX at 2600 fps. with no signs of pressure, sticky bolt or extraction. I could probably go higher but why ? Did I mention I love that rifle and yes, Ruger really needs to come out with a 5 round mag.
Use an aftermarket single-stack 308 magazine. They will feed the 450 rounds just fine.
This gun is extremely accurate. You did not mention the action sits on two aluminum v blocks that are torqued to 90 in. lbs. Remember this if you take it apart. The safety on mine was so noisey that I took a propane torch to the recoil spring to weaken it. You could hear the safety a mile away when released. Very pleased with mine.
My favorite deer rifle, I call it the lil thumper
cool, I was looking for a new bunny buster. nice work Ozi, packs a punch
Well you wouldn’t need to skin or gut them either. What a bonus 😁
Would there be anything left to eat? Probably debones and cooks too
I've seen a fox hit with one of these. Not what you'd expect - because it's a big game bullet, it just drills a hole straight through with no expansion, leaving the animal intact. Pretty cool to see.
Real value for your money Ossie !.
I have that in a 223 that takes AR mags. They are absolutely excellent for the price! Great review
That's the model/caliber I have been thinking about buying.
@@regsparkes6507 don't think about it. Just get it. They are fast accurate rifles. I have a Steiner p4xi 1-4x and it good fun!
@@CDOES Thanks,..yes,..I guess I should do that, procrastinating doesn't get me shooting, does it?
@@regsparkes6507 no it doesn't. It's a cheap investment for a good time
@@CDOES Cheers, and thumb's up!
Great review thanks, and yeah three shots is just annoying when shooting pigs, ten shot mag in that thing would be great.
Great stuff. I've had one for a good while. Factory ammo is way under done in this calibre. Hand loads will make nearly 1500ft/lbs more energy than factory stuff. At that level it really does do impressive stuff! Cool calibre when hand loaded.
What are your reloads?
@@mattluszczak8095 225gr ftx @2800fps and 300gr hollow points @2300fps using Winchester 296. No other powder I've tried comes close to w296.
Thanks Dad!
The lucky 13 unimag for 243/308 will fit this rifle and hold 9 rounds, my factory mag wasn’t too good so quickly upgraded.
That's it Ozzy , Ima gon get me one ! lol
Great review as always Ozzie, pretty expensive to shoot at $3/round but hopefully that'll come down if it becomes popular. Wonder if it would be suitable as a camel cull calibre but with a 3 round mag, need the aftermarket to step in, and government contract to pay for ammo.
Usually you can’t get too close to feral camels so you normally need a caliber to shoot long range with to take them
Great review and nice set up there! I have a 16" 450 Bushmaster upper for my AR and I love it! Only about $1.30 a round here for the 250ftx Hornady Black in the States. Might have to get that scope for the upper..lol
Yup the scope works well mate
Hey mate love your videos ! Could you do a review on American ruger 350legend !
I have seen a 300 gr. Bear load is on the market and it would be good on Buffalo too I think.
Great video! I’m looking to get the same set up here in the states...have you done more shooting with that cds scope? I’m seeing my mixed reviews on its accuracy and I want to make sure it’s dead on at 300yds for deer season...thanks
Thanks for reviewing the Mark AR 450 Bushmaster CDS scope, I couldn't find another review of this specific scope anywhere on YT! I'm considering this scope for my 450 BM, when you took the shots at 200 and 300 yards was it as easy as you made it look? You just dialed the turret to the correct yardage and connected on your first shot? Without having to “walk-in” the shots off-camera?
You can purchase an AR15 magazine conversion from Ruger customer service for around $30.00
I would definitely take a look at some modern 45/70 loads once you get over 300 grain the modern 45/70 owns the 450 bushmaster I have one of each a cva 45/70 with a 25 inch barrel and this same ruger American in 450 BM. I bought a box of factory hornady 325 grain 45/70 lever evolution ammo and it is moving at 2050 FPS at the muzzle with 3032 ftlbs of energy. 1729fps at 100 yards with 2158 ftlbs, 1450fps at 200 yards at 1516 ftlbs of energy and these factory loads don’t even begin to touch the power of a hand loaded modern 45/70. The 450 bushmaster matches performance of the 45/70 up to about 300 grain bullets and is just hardly more aerodynamic than the 45/70’s .458 bullet vs the 450 BM .452 bullet. I would much rather take a 405 grain 45/70 load against a buffalo than a 250 grain 450 BM
when you handload the bushmaster up in the ruger it laughs at anything you can put thru the 45/70. You can safely seat the bullets out more with more powder heaps more grunt. lol
Like a kid in a candy store :)
Those rounds are very expensive candy tho mate lol
Ozzie can you do or do you have a review on the "Browning x bolt hells canyon"
Great video and review as always.
What camera are you using for the 1000fps slow motion?
I got a Sony rx 10 m3, but I think the 1000fps often gets grainy unless there is plenty sunlight.
The Sony RX10 IV 😀
Nice gun, Ruger needs to make an extended magazine 5 rnds of better, seems it would be easy to do. Thanks Ruger.
Hey is this caliber classed as a dangerous game caliber like the 375h&h for shooting buffalo??
Great review mate. What did you buy for the slowmo? It looks great 👍🏻
Sony RX10 IV
Hay mate hows that scope work just run 250gn and the dial up is on Money?
With the brake and the stock pad, what is the recoil comparable to?
They make these in 7.62 Russian short aswell.
Hey looks great...how many acres u on there...tc
Hi mate, where do you get your VisiShot targets from? Cheers
Anyone know of a nice 1inch ring I can get for the ruger 450 bushmaster?
That is great rig... be a great bear gun. Wonder how the muzzle blast and recoil is with the muzzle break removed?
I reckon substantial
ozziereviews yeah that is my thinking too. That is a lot of cartridge for a 16in barrel. Thanks Ozzy
It's push-feed, for what that's worth to you. Convention says go CRF for dangerous game, but mileage may vary there.
I want I want give me that candy 😍
Hey Ozzie. Great review but is it my imagination or does your audio seem slower than normal?
And voice alot deeper
Noticed it in the previous video also.
J iKon yep should be fixed now, I also spent $500 on a new video editing program and it was defaulting to a different frame rate so that’s now fixed and as for the audio I also got that squared away now too, I just had to turn down the input level on the camera 👍
$899?!?! My goodness. That same gun is $499USD. Now, the same scope retails around $300 here in the states. What on earth is the cost for it in Australia? Also, 450 Bushmaster ammo is also only about $1.65/round here for the Hornady FTX.
From what I just checked anywhere between AU$580-620, the basic rule of thumb is that whatever a firearm, ammunition or accessory costs in the USA, here it will cost double that at least in dollar value. Equivalent price when taking exchange rates into account would have the rifle costing US$635 and the optic costing US$434 -_-
You love your Rugers hey?
Surviving
Hate the way Ruger went so cheep on the magazine with the plastic lock tab on the magazine instead of making a proper mag release on the stock or action.
I reload 450bushmaster achieved less quarter inch groups 100mtres
Pretty sure .45-70 has way more power than 450 Bushmaster.
Buffalo Bore has a 350gr .45-70 load putting down 3,591ftlbs.
450 Bushmaster is 2,500 or so with a similar weight 360gr bullet.
.45-70 has a lot more case capacity.
450 BM is really only similar to 45-70 in its original power loadings, and factory loads made safe for any rifle, like original 45-70 rifles or replicas. Once you get into loads made for modern action 45-70, especially things like the Ruger #1, the 450 BM isnt even close. 450 BM is loaded rather weak thou because its mainly designed for AR rifles and the bolts cant take the power that a bolt-action can take. If you hand load the 450 BM for a good bolt action like this Ruger Ranch you can get quite a bit more power out of it and still have perfectly safe pressures for the gun. The same exact action in the Ruger is also used for stuff like 300 Win Mag, so it can take a lot more than a 450 BM.
Try hand loads 225gr Hornady Ftx or speer 250gr hp 36.5 gr LIL gun powder
I’ve never played with this cartridge so my opinion is probably more or less pointless.
That said, I’m going to share it anyway so scroll on if you don’t like pointless opinions.
My 30/06 and .300 WM both cost the same to feed - about $1.75 per trigger pull. I haven’t weighed either rifle but both of mine are pretty light, I’d guess at 3-4kg, and I’d be pretty comfortable shooting just about anything on offer in our great land down under with either one ... well, I probably wouldn’t have a crack at any of those big bloody Cape buffalo with the 30/06 (if I ever even get the chance to hunt them).
Each to their own though! And of course, I’d happily have a crack at shooting a 450 for fun. It’s just that at this point I can’t really think of any reason I’d want to buy one myself. Not at $3 a shot!
For us in the midwest of the us this is a godsend. Before now we were only allowed to use shotguns during deer season. Now we can use rifles like the 450 bm and 350 legend.
Anyone know what the recoil in ft lbs this gun is ?
Can't put a number on it but similar, maybe slightly less than a 12ga slug.
My shoulder rates it in the 30-06 class, just for a rough comparison. Also the Ruger Ranch is a very light gun, so if your shooting it in a different gun, it may be a little different.
Be sweet if they made it to accept AR mags
The .223/.300 blackout version does
Jesus christ $900! $450 here in murica
Great review, but $3 a shot! Not for me.
You're shooting very low pressure forty five seventy for that to be the case because of four because the four if five seventy should stamp all over that thing
It's amazing that rifle companies still selling firearms with single stack magazines in Australia. Annoying as fuck. Thank heavens for after market manufacturer's. In saying that it also depends on what part of the country your living talking to sales reps like in Vic no problems with the stock stand mags supplied but NSW Qld we like multiple magazine's it all comes down to the type of hunting/ feral eradication we do.
