1. bigger safety lever
2. normal recoil lug (i.e. 90 degrees in relation to action)
3. normal scope rings and bases that aren't commonly out of anlignment with the reciever
4. Better accuracy as the 6 or 8 I've had haven't average 2" to 4" at 100, but I know others that have had better luck)
5. leave every thing else the same
FYI, shoot them a little and the actions really smooth up for those worrying about action smoothness.
I guess I already posted on this thread, but see above from '11 (last couple have been shooters though so can no longer say I've never owned an accurate Ruger. Maybe they're improving).
