Modern Sporter - Build Discussions

Thanks! I appreciate you sharing that insight. Sounds like I have some research to do to find a caliber that could be a viable bear gun in the MS platform.
I suppose I could look into the Modern hunter as well.

any of the big bore AR15 calibers would be suitable for bear at less than 150m. 50 Beowulf (also called 12.7x47), 450 bushmaster & 458 Socom. 450 bushmaster is the eaiest to get loaded Ammo for and longer than 18.6" barrels.

Remington has 5 different loading for the 30 AR, never had a problem buying it in Canada. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on medium/large sized game up to 400yds and have taken animals with mine already.

Remington only has one loading for the 450 bushmaster to put things in perspective.

The other side of that coin, is Hornady has 4 loadings of 450 bushmaster, and 0 loadings for 30 AR.

I'm getting similar results searching Federal for the two calibers.

Only ever been able to find the 250gr ftx in Canada. Having used both it and the 260gr accutip from Remington on game, I can tell you I prefer the Remington.

Where are you buying the 3 other loadings from hornady and what has your experience been on animals?

[Brian46]

30 AR and 450 bushmaster are so far apart wen it comes to effective range on medium-large size game, I am not sure why we are even discussing which has more loadings available in the first place like they interchange.

Anybody have fitment issues with CMMG .22lr conversion kit? The mag has a couple tabs about 1.75" from the top that impede it from being inserted all the way.

Nope, can't say I've seen or heard of anything in relation to that. Could you post a picture for clarification?

I just bought the kit used (from a reputable CGNer), but just realized it doesn't fit in my AR mag well either.
