Nice to be able to use those straight walled calibers South of Saginaw now eh?
I went with my 450 for these reasons:
*Legal to hunt/shoot in southern half of lower Michigan
*Boar hunting in Georgia - I have been blessed to go along with a group of guys as a guest several years that slay pigs by the hundred and bring the meat home to enjoy a wild boar sausage making party with family and friends in Jackson County. There is something just spectacular about the entire thing
*I was not a AR platform enthusiast (more traditional rifle style I like but...) however I was with a few guys who had borrowed the 450 on the pig hunt and I was able to test drive it at the range and on a pig. Never thought twice about going forward. Met up with my current Smith to discuss Ambi options and although at that time a full lefty was not an option he loved the idea of something unique with that respect. So I went FULL BORE (ehem) on the layout being unique. I went with the dipped HD camo on all things except hi-lighted areas like bi pod and handle and magz... Its a one of a kind as a lot are - to me my Baby
