2009 Bisley Single Six?

[NZshooter]

Can't find any info. Everything I can find says they were discontinued around 2007. Guess I have a "clean up" gun (warning on bottom of barrel, "Newport, NH"). Can't find pics of another on the net. Serial dates to 2009. Common? Comments?

There were probably a few hundred cleanup Bisley .22's. The highest I know of is 265-06487. If yours is higher, please send a PM so I can update the Reference of Ruger Firearms.
Also curious if the word NEWPORT is in a larger size font than the top line of the address, and whether your gun has an eagle logo on the rear sight.
Are the grips red laminate?

I have a Bisley that came with an empty shell dated 10/26/09. The serial number is 265-180xx. The Newport looks slightly larger than the top line. There is an Eagle logo on the rear sight. It came in a red plastic box that looks like a 50th anniversary but does not have the logo on it. The recess for the logo is there. I think the grips are the red laminate at least they have a red hew.
