Just bought a 77V in .243. Trigger breaks like glass at a low pressure. Sweet. Looking for the info on when a Ruger is made according to the serial number. My other 77V was built in June of '80.
Found it. Go to the Ruger Home page and it gives a phone number for records. Swift and courteous! My two 77V's were made in June of '80, and Dec of '90.
