toad, the .264 in your link is an interesting gun. I can't see the SN, but it does have the very early stainless Ruger rings. The first stainless rings that Ruger used for their stainless guns had blue or black screws in them. They later changed to all stainless screws and rings.
And I agree, the prices are pretty high on these guns.
Some of the more scarce to find are the Stainless BP with sights KM-77RSP MKII, KM-77RLP MKII Stainless Ruger BP ultra light.
The 1 of 1000 .264 was a special distributor model with the 50th anniversary logo engraved on the floorplate. SN range 786-67703 to 786-77604. 1,035 were produced in 1998 for "Go Sportsmen (MT) and Acusport (OH). Very scarce model.
Again....all info is from the RENE, Reference of Ruger Firearms, Volume Two.....I take no credit, just relaying the good info in this publication.
