Nice score! Surprised that one wasn't kept with the Olympic Team one of its members, or at least auctioned to help finance the U.S. Shooting Team.

OP
Chad, I was wondering how many or theses where made?
Got to thinking I haven’t seen a 2007 USII red, white, blue Broad Stripe stock with blued hardware before, only stainless. The 2006 USST models with the standard alternating red, white, blue stock had the blued rec/barrel. I went to check the prefix of your serial to see if it was USST or USII thinking maybe stocks where swapped, but the prefix is cut off from the picture. However I did notice your serial as a hyphen in it, which is curious as the USST and USII models do not use a hyphen in their serial number. It also looks to have a poly trigger group.
I am curious to know more about your rifle. Does the box have a label you want to share?

I believe #28 lives here in the woods...........

I sure hope you didnt buy that rifle and pay the price for serial #1 as the hyphen should not be there and the finish is not right either…

nope, bought it fairly priced from a ruger employee...
my guess is he put a 10/22 action in that stock....remember, there is a 00001 at the start of every new prefix!
IIRC, the RENE mentions that not all these receivers were used for the model 01178 Team USA 10/22.
Ruger’s website shows model 01178 only going from serial USII00001-USII03319. The rest of these receivers were used a year later for model 01140, a stainless all weather w/ black synthetic stock starting with serial USII3320.
