10/22 Deluxe Sporter

Does anyone know what year Ruger first offered the deluxe sporter (not the 1966 finger groove sporter)?

10/22 Sling Swivels

Long time lurker, first time poster

Howdy

Been lurking on this site, collecting info on Ruger firearms for awhile and finally decided I should post something.
I am a life long Ruger fan and have 30 or so Ruger firearms incuding 6 10/22s. I am also an amateur gunsmith, restoring, refinishing and building custom guns.
