Im currently building an AR 450 bushmaster for use with deer hunting. I live in Iowa and we hunt in a "push" and "post" type group. I always push the deer to the posters and rarely enjoy sitting in the freezing cold waiting for the deer to be pushed towards us. My thought behind my 450 build is something light weight, short barreled, minimal recoil, and optics for quick reaction. Typically I carry a Browning A5 automatic that hits like a mule but want to try the AR platform this year. Im building it completely my self. I have an Aero Precision upper, which I milled out to eject the 450, Aero Precision lower, I built myself, a Mission First Tactical Minimalist stock, and has a Bear Creek 16inch barrel. (Not many choices for 450 16inch barrels) My questions are this 1) I need a good muzzle break / compensator for a 5/8x32 thread. Any one have good suggestions for the muzzle device that reduces recoil? I dont really care about noise or flash since Im used to shooting a brusier of a shotgun. 2) Im used to hunting with a single bead sight on my shotgun barrel. Most dear I take down are while walking and kicking up the deer and are pretty close range. Im thinking a decent reflex sight but dont want to spend a large amount of money on a sight. Anyone have experience with a decent reflex sight that can handle the 450? My buddy has gone through 2 of them because of the recoil. Shotgun specific reflex sight be a good choice?
