I've owned a couple dozen, still have a baker's dozen in 22-250, 243, 6mm, 250(x3), 257, 257AI, 25 Souper, 260, 7x57, 308, and 358. I particularly like the RSI style, but wish that they had made the barrels longer than 18.5" so that they would balance more like a Husqvarna with a Mannlicher-style stock than a butt-heavy Remington 7.
I lived about 30 miles from Pinetree Casting from 1986 thru 1990 and spent more than a few friday evenings at Rody's Gun Shop shooting the breeze with the Rody brothers, Bill and Henry, and with the gun guys who worked for Ruger. It was always interesting to hear about the latest project that WBR, Sr. had them working on.
