The first rule I think should have a negative condition to redirect everyone but the admin IP range, other that that looks fine:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {!([IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.3.0/255.255.255.0])}{
    HTTP::redirect "https://my.web.com/"
  }
}

lfowkes' example is great for more specific requirements, but I do see a logic problem there: The redirect to https will never happen since the condition for the same condition is specified for the redirect to https immediately above it.
