Pros/Cons Ruger M77 vs Ruger M77 RSI

[PalmeBay]

I want to know legitimate pros/cons between the:
Ruger M77 with the tang safety
and
Ruger M77 RSI with the mannlicher stock and wing safety.
As much info and opinions I can get between the two including: action, stock, sights, accuracy, quality in general, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

They are one in the same rifle...just the RSI has short barrel and a full stock. M77 Rugers come in a wide variety of configurations and barrel lengths and in long and short actions with or without sights. Early Ruger 77's used a tang safety and did not have the bottom of the bolt cut out so they where not a true controlled round feed as the newer Mark 11's are. Mark 11's have the wing safety. The newest version is the Hawkeye model and is about the same as the Mark 11's but have a duller finish on the blued models which is not a rich looking as earlier. The Hawkeye also has a new trigger system in them.
The Mark 11's are generally considered to be more accurate then the Tang safety guns because some of the early barrels Ruger used where hit and miss and some say they used 2nds in their production. Not to say some of them where not tack drivers because they where. Personally I prefered the Tang Safety over the Wing Safety.
