Remington 700 bdl 17 Remington first year of production!

I’ve got a remington 700 bdl in 17 Remington that has the barrel code of XT, from my understanding that is Dec of 1970, but the first year of production for the 17 Remington is 1971! Can anyone out there explain this to me
 
Your production date was most likely very late 70's, but officially They called it a 71 , It's more or less like the auto industry they start making a 2021 in 2020
 
December '70 is pretty late in the year, by my reckoning.

I've got a FYOP R700, too, a 1967 Varmint Special in 6mm Rem. It has the fleur de lis checkering, blued metal, and a 24-in barrel heavy barrel. I found it in a pawn shop in mint condition. The best deal I ever scored on a rifle.
