Unique Ruger M77

[65swede]

I bought this M77, I believe its from 1977. It has distinct markings on the action and barrel. The rollmark, chamber info, etc., are all inlaid with gold/yellow. I cannot find any examples online and the Ruger SN lookup doesn't return any results. I'm all ears if anyone can provide any incite into this rifle while I wait for Ruger to reply to my email.

Bonanza Gold is the product people sometimes used to fill in the letters. It was a bit better known back in the mid '70's.

Thank you, I would wager it did not leave the factory like this then.

You can contact Ruger support and the archivist can give you a report on that specific SN if you wish.
