Anyone have any experience with a Scout in 450 Bushmaster? Curious about what kind of accuracy to expect with one of these.

I had one. Accuracy was ok, but not consistent. It seemed really finicky about front rest placement.
I didn't like the extractor/lack of ejector. Did not work the best on a rimless case. And I found out the factory was using too small diameter of an extractor spring- caused the extractor to jump out of place and totally bind up. I did find an aftermarket stainless spring that fixed that issue very well.
It served the purpose for one deer season but was happy to move on to a bolt action 450 after that.

Agreed. I would like an ejector, but I haven't had any issues
with extraction
It Isn't a #1. or a target rifle....meat getter...yup...
I much prefer my custom Savage LWH...but I got my CVA
for $250 with 30 rds fired...lol..
