Mr. Sour Grapes...

All kidding aside, Tom, I have had nothing but the very best experience with Ruger and never had one returned, when selling guns for a living. This was a while back, however, and things do change...witness the Winchester Safari Classics.

I am hardpressed to find any fault with my RSM, except for the terrible trigger that came in it.

Remember that the Rugers don't cost antwhere close to what the Dakotas and Heyms cost. They are a bargain.IMHO
