Thinking about getting a 450 Bushmaster upper. Are the cheap uppers (such as bear creek) OK or should I spend more for something like a RRA. Also, All the uppers I see have a 1:24 twist. Does anyone make a 1:16? Want a upper w/ a free float handguard & capable of shooting at a minute. Specific recommendations & experiances would be helpful.

I bought one of the Bushmaster brand (in .450 Bushmaster) uppers on sale at MidwayUSA. I put a Japanese 3x9 scope on it for deer hunting (straight wall cartridge only) in my area. Shot 4 deer with it with 4 shots. All less than 100 yards. I did get a RRA magazine. It feeds better than the Bushmaster magazine in my particular rifle. You can't go wrong with a quality upper.
bear creek anything is garbage. Some shoot ok but that’s the minority. Contact Mos-tek and tell them what you want and they will set you up. The 16 twist barrels are great for subs and supers. The 20-24 twist barrels are good with supers. I have A mos-tek 10.5” 16 twist and it shoots great. It doesn’t get much use anymore after I put together a bolt gun 450.
Tromix has a couple configurations with 1:20 twists. I've never used his big bore stuff but I trust his reputation.
