"It is one of the more interesting 76 guns I have seen with what I'm told was a factory threaded and compensated barrel. This helps reduce the recoil of this wonderful caliber. "

Did Ruger offer these or is it a later addition?

These were real popular in the 80's & 90's to add to your rifle.

Personally, I have never known of a #1 with recoil reducer..from the factory as a formal factory accessory............

Thanks guys I'm always a little leary about I heard or I've been told statements. I found another I'm going to buy tomorrow. 7 boxes of ammo, 2 sets of rings, it's a no warning gun with a Pachmayer pad. $850 figure the ammo and rings are worth 250 - puts me in the gun at $600.
