Sweet.

What was the story behind them, didn't someone leave White to start them up ?

 

[ElDiablo]

How does the action work? Close up action pics? Any idea what the twist rate is?

 

[trickyricky]

Good looking rifle. I would like to see the action opened too. Is there a stop for the bolt/hammer?

Thats the question I had, about the action. If the rumors are correct and its a White barrel, the twist should be 1-24.

 

[edmehlig]

Ditto same question

 

[ElDiablo]

Found this old thread. Apparently same barrels as Whites and the action on the Rio Grande is basically the same as the G series but angled instead of straight pull (and opposite side)? Or is that a very short straight pull to cock?

Thats a good deal if someone just wanted or needed a new barrel for a White, they could pull it off one of these.

 

[knight shooter]

Yes it is
You can’t hardly get anything for 300 any more plus comes with 2 boxes of bullets

 

[rugerbh103]

Any idea if they'll take a White breech plug?

 

[knight shooter]

I’ll check

 

[knight shooter]

She’s ready topped of with
Redfield 1-6x24 scope
By the way this are nice scopes to clear
If warms up this week
I’ll keep you updated on a range report

 

[Tc280]

What scope bases does it use?

 

[knight shooter]

Same warnes that fit the white
Not sure what the number is

 

[knight shooter]

Or the weaver 35 and 11

Can’t wait to see your report. If they shoot good, I’m going to need one.
