I see that the RM is back up to $1200 now at Cabela's. A month or two ago it was down to $850. I think it's overpriced at the regular price, but a good deal when on sale.


You bought a great rifle! 50 cal is plenty for any deer that walks and will do a number on elk as well. The fast twist lends itself to conicals and sabots. With conicals you can get a lot of lead on target.

Congrats!
