Maineguide,

I sincerely believe that with a little tuning the RSMs are the best bargains out there. Put a good pad on it ( I like the Limbsaver) to your LOP and have a smith bed it and tune the trigger. Have the smith work on any feeding issues and the ejection problem. Now you have around $1600+ invested in a rifle that is truly top notch. The wood and integral quarter rib makes this rifle special. I like my Czs and M70s but I am really fond of my RSMs. They are just special to me and have a good "fondling" quality.

edit to add: they are the most accurate or my big bores. My 458 Lott is an honest 1" gun and has accounted for many varmints! Yes you don't need a MOA DG rifle but it is a good psychological boost to know your rifle is exceptionally accurate.
