458 Lott Ruger RSM

[Royal27]

Not sure what the RSM looks like guys but I'm going to look it up. I just bought a Ruger Model 1 in 458 Lott and should have it to my FFL guy this week. Looking forward to taking it to the range!

You will need to do a report Charlie.

I will be interested to see what you think of the recoil in that No. 1.

Royal I'm sure that rifle will kick like a Missouri mule. I will report as soon as I can get to the range!

It will if it's anything like my .458 Win. Mag. Still thinking about adding weight to mine.

My RSM is in .416 Rigby and I wouldn't take anything for it. Same for my #1 in .458 Win Mag. I might consider changing out the Browning Stainless A-Bolt in .375 H&H for a Winchester, but that is not a burning desire currently as it shoots well enough for me.

Agreed. My RSM .416 Rigby is almost perfect. The only thing I would trade it for is a Rigby rifle in .416. And we both know that's not going to happen! I also have a 1H in .416 Rigby. I might would trade that for another RSM.

RSMs in nib condition in the big calibers are worth $2000. They are that good! Ask Heym or IdaRam!
Only my unsolicited opinion.

Agreed @sierraone , I also believe they are that good. Every RSM I have seen or heard people comment about is out-of-the-box ready to hunt. That in itself is worth alot to me. In addition, they're not making any more of them With the RSM reputation I believe they will get harder and harder to find and value will continue to increase, even as they age and become "more used".
I'm halfway there to a complete collection. I just need the Lott, .270 Win and .338 WM. So far .338 seems rarest of the breed...

There is a guy in Oregon selling an "as-new" R.S.M in .416 on another site for $1875.
