  .680 ? Do you dare to shoot it?
  
  I think you mean .280.

  I see where they made a model 77V (varmint) in caliber .280 24 inch barrel from 1968 to 1992. You could maybe call Ruger with the serial number and they could tell you the year it was made.

  .680" should be the bull barrel diameter at muzzle.[;)]
  
  Probably made in the late 70's to early 80's if it has that heavy barrel.

  Mine is marked ".280REM. or 7mmEXP.REM." and, per the serial number listing in the book, RUGER AND HIS GUNS, was made in 1989. My rifle though, is a standard weight sporter, not a heavy barrel.

  You might consider posting to the Ruger collectors forum. At this link. Sometimes collectors have a better handle on little known/low production variations. Than even the manufacturer.
