Just saw this on Gunbroker. ( Auction # 285350749 REMINGTON R-15 450 BUSHMASTER RIFLE / DISCONTINUED ) Anyone know if it's true? If so, are they just discontinueing that particular model, or are they stopping production of all of the 450B rifles? Are the Bushmaster brand 450's being discontinued as well? Don't want speculation or wild guesses, But, Anyone with actual information, please let us know!

As I recall, Remington discontinued that particular camo pattern, not the .450b

The Bushmaster site still shows the 16 & 20 inch 450 Bushmaster as orderable. Uppers or complete. Unless you see it in black and white on the Bushmaster or Remmy site, everything is cool. They can't make them fast enough... That's the issue. Demand is high. Supply is struggling.

All of the Camo Models can be ordered from Bushy, so it might make sense to just put the bushmaster name on all of the models, just to eliminate the duplication, kinda like when GM dissolved the Pontiac Name, those cars, for the most part, are being made by Chevy now. As for the Bushy/Remmy thing, the money all goes into the same pocket, so consolidation could be in the works. Having said that, I have not had official notice, but hey, bigger opps, can be had..

I haven't seen any camo offerings from Bushmaster in anything other than their small bores since before the R-15 came out.
