One knowledgeable fellow thinks it is an old High Tech stock from circa 2006, after Bansner sold the name to another maker.
I called Bansner, he never made an RSM stock but subsequent maker might have ?
Circa 2006 was first year the .458 Lott Ruger M77 RSM was made, as was this rifle,
a Gen 3 with 23" barrel length and 0.750" muzzle diameter.
I collected this rifle from a local Cabela's Gun Library and they reveal nothing about the former owner ID for me to contact and quiz.

The stock is pretty light, 1 # 15.8 oz. even with the RSM steel recoil cantilever plate permanently embedded in it.
Assembled, unloaded rifle as above weighs 8 # 14.2 oz.

Excuse me for owning this .458 Lott, but I am sort of a redneck Buckstix,
with beer tastes on a beer budget.

Internals, same method of RSM glass bedding as Wayne at AHR used on walnut.
The "recoil plate" that falls off the barreled action is embedded solidly into the stock.
Wayne's job was much prettier with brown epoxy partially covering the steel in walnut.
Charcoal grey epoxy over carbon fiber cannot hold a candle to that, even it had been done as neatly.
That recoil plate is the only recoil stop, connected by cantilever to the bolster knob under the receiver.
I think the stock is 100% carbon fiber besides the steel recoil plate, epoxy bedding and paint.
Paint job is first clue to High Tech, according to my consultant ...

Second clue is charcoal-colored interior:

That skinny web between magazine well and trigger well is not cracked. It must be carbon fiber.

Wait, what….my eyes are deceiving me, you bought a 458 Lott! Rejoined the ranks of us Lottites. Very sturdy looking stock. Excellent find at Cabelas, this rifle looks to be indestructible.
 
Check out MG Arms in Houston (Spring), TX. I see shades of their stock in the pictures.
