Your rifle is the "First Generation" RSM with heavy 24" long barrel (.820" at the muzzle) and with the front sling base coming through the forearm on a barrel band inletted into the forearm.

The "Second Generation" RSM was a few years after that, with front sling base on a barrel band out beyond the forend, same barrel.

The "Third Generation" RSM came a few years later still, with 23" barrel length and 0.750" muzzle diameter.


Correct on all counts, near as I've been able to figger. Smiler

Do you know what the difference in weight is between Gen 1 and Gen 3? My Gen 1 is pretty barrel heavy, although that's a positive thing with the 470 Mbogo.

Does your "First Generation" RSM have the same recoil plate bedding sysyem as all the others?


I haven't had any newer ones handy to compare it to, but, yep...it does have a recoil plate bedding system. I don't know if it changed over the generations at all.

Cheers,
Canuck

Canuck,
In .416 Rigby, Generation One and Two RSM's are about 10.5 to 10.75 lbs., depending on wood.

Generation Three RSM in .416 Rigby was exactly 9.5 lbs for the one I weighed.

Ahhhh...I get it now. Smiler You got my brain off track with the reference to Mark I. Big Grin YES, it is the original 470 Mbogo (#1 of all time)...the one that Dave E had rebored and took to Tanz...and the one that I bought from him and then subsequently gave a return visit to Tanz. It now has 6 notches in it...3 from Dave and 3 from me.

Cheers,
Canuck
