I have a 1990 made 77rsi in 250 savage that has a black recoil pad. Wondering why that is. Have been told that it's not correct, but it hasn't been messed with. Any info appreciated.

The buttpads were changed from red to black with the original M77 series between 772-85628 and 772-87596.

I suspect Ruger merely had a temporary supplier issue that probably, knowing 'ol Bill, saved them 30 cents per pad for a short while. ;)
Then back to the regular red pads...

Or, they were left over from whatever was found in a corner of the Newport plant (yep...the parts bin theory again).
