Pre-Warning Ruger Model 77-RS Rifle in .300 Win. Mag. with Box and Factory Letter

Serial #70-75117, .300 Win. Mag., 24" barrel with an excellent, bright bore.  This is a 1974-made rifle that retains practically all of the original blue finish on the metal, and the bolt only exhibits some minor wear marks along the body.  The checkered walnut stock has one small ding right on the grip (see photo), other than that the virtually no wear or handling marks, and is outfitted with a red Ruger recoil pad.  The rifle is housed in the original, numbered Ruger cardboard shipping box with original papers, hang-tag, and scope rings.  Also included is a 2022-dated Ruger factory letter that lists a shipping date of February, 1974 to Bernard E. Gitlin Co. of Hartford, CT.  This is a practically new-in-box, early Model 77, and would make a stellar addition to any collection.  FFL or C&R
