1986 - Rukos offerings for Canada

[Dosing]

Pre all the bans by lists, names etc, when you could still buy an AUG, but more interesting was their offerings for precision rifles of the day.

[Daniel G. Banting]

Ruko at one time was one of the finest distributors in the country. Rudy Koppe a new immigrant at the time began his career selling "Swiss Army" knives literally door to door. His boundless energy allowed him to auger those meager beginnings into one of the largest shooting sports distributors in Canada. The company went through significant change after his departure.

Your post brought back some most pleasant memories of the past. Thanks
