Rio Grande at the range
 

A couple of years ago when I was Pawn Shop snooping ( I've cured myself now ) I ran across a .504 Rio Grande by Ft. Worth Arms. I held off for a good long while, however, in a moment of weakness, I offered a low ball price. I believe it was $100 for a never fired gun with nice steel rings & bases. It's a pretty cool gun with a top line Bell & Carlson stock, chrome trigger guard and a Bold Trigger.





The slam fire action is unique and performs flawlessly.



Today was too hot for sabot shooting and I wanted goof around. I put a up a 3.5" group with 70 of T7 3F and then went to 80 grains. I'm shooting .504 No Excuse bullets with no wad. Shot number 5 left the group but it was clear pull on my part. The trigger is set at about 10 lbs. ( need to find Bold adjustment instructions ) and I flinched before I touched it off. As you can see, 1-4 piled right in there. I think this gun deserves a little more attention.

You got a heck of a good buy and on very good old rifle. They really do work well.

This is what I have on adjusting a Bold...

What you got is basically a White knockoff by a former White employee. It's a good find , especially for that price .

Thanks Sabotloader,

Any chance I could get the pdf or a link for those trigger instructions? It's exactly what I need.

Very nice rifle. And a very nice find. I would have grabbed that in a heart beat.
