I have an opportunity to buy a new Ruger #1 rifle for about $1,000. Either a 450 bushmaster or 450 marlin are the only options though. I don't have any experience/knowledge with either of these cartridges but it seems like a good price for the rifle.

Thoughts? Any options to rechamber to a different round?

- 450 Marlin, "cause sometimes .357 just ain't enough" :) (nm) - Marco, 2019-05-27, 16:14
- the 450 marlin has more power if that is what you are after (nm) - Gary Reeder, 2019-05-27, 11:17
- 450 Marlin for me - PJ, 2019-05-26, 16:00
- Both are good rounds. My nod goes to the 450 Bushmaster... - Huey, 2019-05-26, 14:44

      - I'd be a little hesitant on the .450 Marlin - WB, 2019-05-28, 08:48
        But still better performance than the alternative. - Sid R, 2019-05-28, 18:49
