As far as I know, Ruko did not make guns, but market4d OEM guns from others.

The Cat is right yet again. I had a Voere Titan II (Kleingunther)in 300 Weatherby that was imported from Germany and marketed by Ruko.

Drool, drool, the Titan II's were excellent guns, possibly a little heavy, but they were beautiful firearms, and I believe they came with a 1/2moa guarantee. The Kleingunther Titan actions were used by a few different companies.

Now that makes sense, it says squires Bingham on the tag as well, imputed by ruko! Thanks.

Those Ruko shysters used to control the euro gun market in Canada in the 70's. and 80's. Sort of like Stoeger Canada today.

They both had/have a monopoly on distribution.

There were ways in getting around Ruko for nice guns, and Lefty Canuck's dad knew how to do it.

Today you can see Ruko knives at WSS.

The way to get around Rukp was to bring the stuff in through the U.S.!:)

Correct you are sir. They had an incredibly fast lock time, good triggers, excellent barrels and darned nice wood. 1/2" MOA was guarantee'd for the Kleingunther which had a unique 3 point bedding system (an adjustable screw on the forestock to dampen harmonics of the barrel)otherwise they were all Voere.:)

They used to sell em in Crappy Tire to.

I have one...it only cost about 20 bucks but it holds an edge and is a great little knife.

Used to buy pant loads of their .22 ammo from Woolworths on $1.44 days! Wow, showing a little age there...

I still hunt with a ruko scope... It was made in Japan.
