I do like the short barrel, ease of carry, and it gets out of a saddle scabbard as quick as a lever gun. I have the 20 inch with sights. It wears a 2x7 Vortex Viper scope, and is in a McMillan. So far it has elk at 400 yards, and 15 yards in the timber. It handled both without a problem. It has become my go to gun. I intended to have a 338-06 built but picked up the RCM for $345.
But yes it is pretty much dead now. It may make an appearance once in a while. Get the components while you can.
