The older Rugers in 458 WM are push-feed. Such as it is, it's a joy to shoot as the recoil is a nice solid shove. Mine has such a plain stock that it basically looks a Walmart special. I plan to convert it to CRF and restock it in the future as I do like the rifle and the caliber. The only thing I absolutely hate is the rear sight with the two teeny-weeny screws used for windage. I'll probably just change the rear sight with an NECG one also.
