Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Ruger RL/RLS what is it

The 358 Win RS Carbine originally was supposed to be a RSI Mannlicher style carbine. Upon finding the barrel diameter to large for the slender forend of the RSI stock, they decided to put them into a standard sporter stock. But, a few were actually put into the Ultralight RL stock with the black forend tip, becoming the even rarer 358 RLS Carbine.

Ok. Lots and lots of great info and man ! A little confusing.

I just want to make sure of these models as I am planning on selling both or hopefully trading for a 30/06 Ruger guide gun!
Thanks

So the 18 1/2 inch 308 with walnut stock sights ebony tip walnut stock and the same gun with a 20inch barrel and sights and ebony tip stock in 30/06

RS and RLS correct?

RL is Ruger Light rifle, no sights, 20" barrel

RLS is Ruger Light with Sights 18" barrel.

Sorry. Then both RLS

This is nice

I had a 1988 RLS in 30-06 and a couple 257 Rbt’s RL’s. The RLS is the same as the RSI, just with a 1/2 stock and black forend cap rather than the full length Mannlicher (International) stock.

I remember my Ruger 77 RS in 358 Win had a 19” barrel, not 19.25” as stated above.

10GS: Thank you for posting that informative list on the M-77's
I tried to copy it and paste it so I could make a hard copy but the format of your post won't allow it.
I can copy and paste all other postings hereon but not yours.
Could you direct me to a source where I can make a copy of it?
Thanks again and thanks in advance for any assistance.
