Ruger has not chambered wsm calibers in 4 or 5 years.  Maybe longer than that.  I read that they quit chambering wsm's because they did'nt want to pay royalties or something. Some legal dispute.  The only one I saw was in '06 on a hunting trip to Idaho.  It was stainless/synthetic and chambered in 300wsm, nice rifle.  Anyway I hav'nt seen one since, so I ended up with a Kimber.  Those rcm's do sound like cool little rounds though.

I have a Mdl. 77 in 300 WSM also and I also won it at an RMEF raffle.
It is stainless synthetic.

I thought about it today while working and I remember looking at one quite a few years ago when Jakes in selah closed his doors. It was a brush gun almost a carbine length with a fixed four power scope on the end of the barrel that you could look through with both eyes open. Very cool. I should have bought that gun.
