I don't know the numbers but my guess is that there are enough of them out there where I would not call them rare. The only one that I know of out there that is rare would be the 325 WSM. You find one of them you better have the cash in your pocket right there.
The WSM's are still a popular caliber and my thinking on not seeing many out there is the fact that people who have them like them and aren't selling them off. I believe the 270 is the more popular one too.
The SAUM's aren't exactly rare either but the calibers have somewhat died off compared to the WSM calibers. I would guess there are less of these than the WSM's. Any of these in my opinion are not worth any premium over any other MkII. Just going on a hunch/educated guess here but I would think the 350 Rem Mag was produced in less numbers than any of the short mags. That is "the original" short mag and definately one of my favorites.

Ruger's never given production quantity info on their regular production guns. They're getting a lot better about that with their special distributor models though.
Unfortunately for any of the WSM or SUM calibers in a Ruger, ammunition availability is going to be the biggest detriment to the guns, and will probably have a drastic effect on collectibility.
Now as far as the .325 WSM of which only a handful were built in one model and maybe 100 in another model, I think those are going to be hot property (and already are!).
