Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Ruger 77 RSM

Of the 3 RSMs I've had, none had stock splitting problems. That includes a 416 Rigby - now for sale - a 458 Lott and a 416 Rigby rebored to 450 Rigby Rimless. Shot the 416 Rigby the least because it would only feed pointed bullets reliably, not the CEB BBW FP solids I normally prefer and I didn't want to modify the feed ramp on this one.

All were/are shot regularly with heavy loads and the bedding system and stock work as advertised. Other than having the 450 RR stock reworked to make it slimmer and fitting a proper recoil pad, the RSMs fit and perform well. Except for the 375H&H, IMHO too heavy for the cartridge, the 458 Lott and 450 Rigby are appropriately heavy for their intended purpose.
