I'm looking for something unique to shoot. Right now I am looking at a Ruger Scout mod. 6839 chambered in 450 bushmaster.

My question is this rifle overkill for most applications in Georgia?

Is the recoil bad?

It is not nearly the beast as it sounds like. It is not anywhere near a 45-70 or 450 Marlin, 444 Marlin. It should be a good brush gun. It is particularly useful in several states that have been traditionally shotgun only but just beginning to open up to straight walled cartridges for hunting deer.
 
450 bush shoots better than 450/70 look at the drop off between them .. 450 bush is straight out to 250 yards maybe lil more 45/70 drops a lot but in close range 45/70 is a beast
