Ogre6br,

Rampro closed their doors a couple of years or more ago. Some business associations and financial agreements went sour. John Illum, the force behind Rampro did not surface in the firearms business after that as far as I know. There were rumors that a company in the Salt Lake City area bought the designs and manufacturing rights and planned to make parts and new actions. The IHMSA silhouette community, the main client for Rampro actions and guns has a forum board at Click Here. You might get more information with an inquiry over there.

For some reason I think Brad Starr bought it. I am not sure about the spelling either.

the reply I got from brad today

Hello from Utah
Yes I am making the old Rampro actions with some improvements,like a Sako extractor and a better bolt release etc.The action diameter is 1.350 and it is only 4.960 long to the front of the bolt handle and has a tang that feathers out like a Hall.
McMillan has the inletting program so you can talk to them about the
different stocks it will fit in.I don't have the 5.7x28 bolt face,but I will have one real soon because I want to build one necked down to .15 and .17.The port length is 2.030" and I make them right or left,but only have right bolts for now and it does have a one piece recoil lug and any Remington style trigger will fit and it uses a Remington adl trigger guard.You can use 2 Remington front bases of any style or I am making a 1 pc base with a 3/8 dovetail for Kelby etc. rings.I do not have the website up yet,I want to have over 100 actions ready before I do and I am getting real close to that target.I am asking around about an exporter and should know about that after Thanksgiving.I hope I have covered all your questions,if not just email me again or call.

Thanx Brad 801-731-8152
