I have a tang safety RSI in .243 that I started my daughters and a couple of grandsons on. It is one of my favorite "walk about" rifles--I think that it carries and balances great. Never had one in a long action. I had a No. 1 RSI in 7x57 that was a bit butt heavy, but I liked to carry it, too. Sold it on the 'Fire last year and wish that I had not done so.
