Douglas barrels because Bill Ruger wanted 26 inch barrels and Wilson only made 24 inch.

Cheating a little, 
but going by the thread topic, Discontinued Ruger Cals..?, an oddity I had in a single shot handgun was the Ruger 256 Hawkeye. 
There's another I should've kept.

I have 257 Roberts M77 MKII I bought from Wholesale in Edmonton in the early 2000's. Not sure when they got discontinued?
I believe this was a bent bolt handle gun in 76, maybe on the shelf a bit. I ended up with 2 tang safeties in 6MM shortly thereafter, a HB Varmint BiCentennial for groundhogs and a sporter for yotes. Close to a Robert's and way better than a .243
Almost bought a Ruger in 257 Roberts in 1976 at Hall’s Sporting Goods in Swift Current Sk. It was the model without sights and I barely had enough $ for the rifle with nothing left for the scope . Wally sold me a MINT Husqvarna in 25/06 for $20 less then through in a box of 120 grain Remington.
Still would like a Roberts
Have the tang safety round top in 257 Roberts.
Sold the 6mm and 220 swift 77V’s a long ago but damn they were nice with triggers you could work on and they shot like none other.
Sold the 250 and 22-250 RSI’s and regretted it ever since.
Live and learn but glad to have held them all.
The tang safety 77’s are still my favourite Ruger.
Still have the Liberty 76 in 7x57 looking like the day it came out of the box.
Great rifles.

My bro' has a first year production dogleg flat bolt, 3 digit serial # that was rebarrelled to .358W. Used to be mine, I bought it years ago at a gunshow, wish I had it back.
