Did Ruger make any of these in the original Tang safety? I know of the mid 80’s version with the black forend tip.
LGS has an older 270 red pad with a 20” barrel but the forend tip isn’t black. Serial starts with 73 putting it at 1977 or so for the production date. It looks like any other mid 70’s M77 but with a shorter barrel.
I don’t want to pick it up if it’s been cut down after the fact. It looks original though. $469 and comes with an original Buckmaster 4x40 fixed.
They also have a couple clean Remington 788’s, one in 22-250 and one in 308 for $399 a piece.
