Remington Model 700 - Mfg. Date help

My dad purchased a Remington Model 700 22-250 new in 1967 if I remember correctly. He was an accomplished shooter as US Marine and an avid shooter as a civilian. He went through two barrels before having his favorite gunsmith glass in a SS barrel sometime in the mid 1970s. The original barrel that had the date code is long gone. The serial number is 167576. If anyone can determine the date of manufacture by the serial number I would greatly appreciate it. My dad gave me his firearms prior to passing away passed away and I am putting a history together that includes the details of each as well as the theirs and personal memories involving the various firearms he owned. I figure this is one of the ways to honor him and give insight to future generations.
Thank you!
 
This might help if you can find the barrel code

Per the John Lacy book, serial #s aren't necessarily in strict order by date of assembly. Some listed #s in the book are 165325 from 8-65 & 212470 from 9-66. But then 233008 was assembled in 8-66, so a definite maybe would be from 8-65 to 9-66. Hope this helps some.
