I have a Ruger 77 V in 243 chambering. It has the old dogleg style bolt handle. Serial number is 70-701XX. When I look it up on the Ruger website, it can't be found. From the number range, I assume it was made in 1973. Can Mule Deer or anyone else help out? Also - I think (hope) this rifle may have a Douglas barrel. I think it was made during the transition period from Douglas to Wilson. Any help will be appreciated.
