    Last year I went black Friday shopping for one item, an Anderson Manufacturing lower with parts and pistol grip for $50. Triggers in Greendale had this deal so I jumped on it. At the time I didn't know what I was going to build but held on to it thinking about a 300blk build. Here just a couple of weeks ago Midway USA had 450 bushmaster 20" uppers for $650, I also had a $30 coupon and free shipping. After a quick search online cheaper than dirt showed A2 buttstocks with a rifle buffer and spring for $50.

    So..I have $720 in an awesome gun.

    I put a Weaver tactical 1.5-6x30 scope on it to see how it shoots and I am very excited about hunting with this. I plan on changing some parts in the future but it does work great as is. I plan on painting it up, maybe a different stock, grip, trigger, but for now, money spent will be on ammo!:rockwoot:

    The 'fo-fiddy' is a deer hammer. We built ours from Franklin Armory bbls and bolts last year. Its amazing how accurate they are at 100yds with Hornady 450BM factory ammo.

    The 450 does have a bit of a 'punch' to it. If you have recoil issues, pm me.

    Nice job!!!

    Throw a Ross Schuler muzzle brake on it. I built one the year before on the same Midway USA deal. Have fun whacking deer with a great gun.
