Custom Ruger RSM in 300 Wby

[BGHNTR416]

I picked up this rifle recently and mentioned it in the "Good gun deals" and a member was interesting in seeing some pics. The action is the Ruger RSM action ordered as a receiver only from Ruger in 1995. I do not know who did the custom work but whoever it was did a very nice job. The checkering is really nice. One side note is that by using this action and not using a quarter rib, you have the section on top of the front suddenly end where the qtr rib would have continued on. It will need a trigger and a few minor touch ups before I take it to the range. I need to pick up a set of dies and test for feed/function.

That is some beautiful wood and checkering. Thanks for posting. I didn’t know that Ruger offered the Magnum action for sale.
Perhaps an employee/VIP ?

Looking forward to the range report.

Very nice sir! I appreciate the pictures! That stock is excellent. I wish Ruger sold actions on their own.

I'm going to show my age.

At one time they did just sell their actions, but the last that I knew that they did was in the late 70's.
