Here's what I have on the 7x62x39, from the reference:
KM77RPW 7.62 x 39 (Ruger model 7853). A special Distributor model for Davidson's (AZ) and Williams Shooter's Supply, AcuSport, V.F. Grace, Inc. and Ellet Brothers) with wood forearm and grip inserts. Known s/n range 780-40534 to 780-61186 - 1,217 produced).
Then Ruger did another batch of the 7x62x39 without the wood inserts in the model KM77RLP Mark II, (Ruger model 7999) Special Distributor model - known s/n range 786-62602 to 786-70871 (a total of 1,016 were produced in 1999 and 2002 for Davidson's (AZ).
Lastly, Ruger also made a very few guns in 7x62 with Zytel boatpaddle stock and blue barreled action.

Chad, do we know 'if any' or 'how many' were made with sights?
