It was offered with a 22" light barrel early on and discontinued in 1973, according to Ronnie Burke serial number 13 was chambered in it. From the reference I've seen they were all flatbolts. I don't think they offered it again, maybe a special distributor order but don't know.

Thank you Bennett.
I saw this gun on gunbroker and didn't think it was correct. I had the seller send me pictures of the barrel markings. They are not ruger factory markings. The gun has been re barreled.
Thanks for the insight, I did not know that they chambered a few form the factory. 284 Winchester is my favorite rifle caliber.
