New caliber in Ruger American rifle

Ruger is cataloging the American rifle, both Standard and Ranch in 450 Bushmaster.
This is great news for those of us who hunt in shotgun or restricted firearms zones for deer.
Michigan followed Indiana's rules changes a few years ago, and now allow certain rifle calibers to be used in the firearms deer season in the Southern half of the Lower Peninsula. This fits in the required; 35 cal. minimum, straight wall, less than 1.8" case length.
I hunt in that zone, and though rifled shotguns with sabot slugs work, they are not my first choice.

This Ranch Rifle, with a suppressor would be lighter than my slug gun.
