Ruger safari magnum. Good, Bad and Ugly?

I've had a couple RSMs and they are OK. Well, I guess for the money they are pretty good but Rugers have always been blocky, heavy and ugly IMO.
Next to a magnum Mauser there is no comparison. Big difference in price of course but with RSM prices going up (although you do see them at auctions for much less than retailers) the gap is getting less and I just don't see the value any more.
Also, It made sense for Ruger to make a magnum for the 416 but not the 375. The Whitworth 375 at half the money is a better choice to me.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
