Thank's for the reply bigsqueeze. The appeal of the RCM for my friend is the excellent rifle configuration that Ruger has put together, as you pointed out. I think he can tolerate up to 300WM recoil levels and possibly more if not benched out, but he'd prefer not to get into another tooth rattler. After handleing the RCM's they seem to have enough heft to posssibly reduce the felt recoil, but not knowing anyone with an RCM we're just guessing. He might have to toss the dice and take a chance with it??

I've dredged up all the info (old article's, post's ect.) that I can on this cart., any personal experience folk's would like to share would be welcomed.
