The Ruger American Compact in .450 Bushmaster with 16.5-inch barrel creates a highly maneuverable straight-wall hunting configuration for blind and stand hunting in dense timber. The short barrel and reduced overall length improve handling in tight ground blind environments while the .450 Bushmaster delivers the terminal energy required for straight-wall cartridge deer regulations. A practical combination for Midwestern hunters who prioritize compactness over long-range capability.
