Ruger American Ranch .450 Bushmaster 16.12″ 16950

The Ruger American Ranch in .450 Bushmaster is a compact, bolt-action sporting rifle configured for short- to moderate-range duties where a large-bore cartridge is desired. It ships with a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope rail and a cold hammer-forged, threaded 16.12″ barrel for easy muzzle device attachment. The rifle includes a Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger and a Flat Dark Earth fixed synthetic stock with a soft rubber buttpad for reduced perceived recoil. For an optic under $1,000 that matches the rifle’s intended use, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 for a rugged, budget-friendly magnified sight optimized for short- to moderate-range big-game shots.
