Key Features
- Threaded 20″ Barrel with Protector – Why it matters: You can attach a muzzle brake, suppressor, or compensator without a gunsmith, making it field-ready for noise reduction or recoil management.
- Adjustable Trigger (3–5 lbs) – Why it matters: Dial in the exact pull weight you prefer for consistent accuracy, whether you're shooting from a stand or tracking game.
- Three-Lug Bolt with 70° Throw – Why it matters: The short lift clears even large scopes, so you can mount high-magnification optics without interference. Faster cycling too.
- Tang Safety – Why it matters: It's right under your thumb, easy to engage/disengage without shifting your grip. Simple, reliable, and intuitive.
- One-Piece Picatinny Scope Base (Factory Installed) – Why it matters: No need to buy or align a separate base. Mount your rings and scope in minutes, and it's rock-solid for heavy-recoil .450 loads.
Who It's For
This rifle is for hunters who work dense woods, thick brush, or heavy cover where shots are close and fast. The .450 Bushmaster delivers massive energy on deer, bear, or hogs. It's also a great choice for new bolt-action shooters who want a simple, durable rifle with modern features like a threaded barrel and adjustable trigger. If you're a family looking for a reliable hunting rifle that won't break the bank, this fits.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Threaded barrel for suppressor use; adjustable trigger; short 70° bolt throw; tang safety; factory-installed Picatinny base; Moss Green stock stands out in the field.
- Cons: The synthetic stock feels a bit light-duty compared to laminate or wood stocks on some competitors. It's functional but not premium.

If you already own a bolt-action rifle in .450 Bushmaster, a Timney or Geissele trigger can improve pull weight and consistency. But if you're starting from scratch, the Glenfield Model A gives you a complete rifle with a threaded barrel and adjustable trigger for less than the cost of many triggers alone.
FAQ
What scope base does the Glenfield Model A use?
The rifle comes with a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base. It's ready for standard Picatinny-compatible rings. No separate base purchase needed.
Can I use a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The 20″ barrel is threaded (likely 5/8x24, but confirm with manufacturer specs) and includes a thread protector. You can attach a direct-thread suppressor or muzzle device.
Is the .450 Bushmaster legal for deer hunting in my state?
.450 Bushmaster is legal in most states that allow straight-wall cartridge hunting, including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and others. Check your local regulations. According to NSSF data, it's one of the top three straight-wall calibers used by deer hunters in restricted zones.
How does the stock feel? Is it durable?
The Moss Green Splatter synthetic stock is textured for grip and lightweight. It's durable enough for field use, but it's a basic synthetic—not as stiff as a laminated wood or high-end composite stock. It's fine for hunting in heavy cover.
