Ruger 1A in 222 Remington was one of Ruger's releases for 2013.
The one I have has fairly plain blonde coloured wood, it is however checkered with the same pattern as they used on the Boddington series. Suggests that at least some were made up using leftover stocks.

I'm seeing tons of these "blond" stocks which look to me to be Circassian with little to no of the dark steaking that we like to see. I have seen Boddington checkering and normal checkering. Again, it looks like Ruger is using up wood that they didn't use during the Boddington days. Take it for what you want, but it seems to me to be cleaning up.
