When did Ruger quit making boat paddles?

[philthygeezer]

Seems like the new stocks are only recent. What year did Ruger stop making them? Were the rimfire boat paddles discontinued in a different year or all in the same one?

10 years ago , at least. At least I'm pretty sure.

Found an old 2007 catalog and it looks like the centerfires have changed, but the rimfires are still boat-paddle, at least in the picture.

2003

2003

So centerfires = 2003, and rimfires sometime after 2007? Gatehouse wasn't far off the mark...

centerfires around 2002 or 2003, I remember seeing the catalog with the new style stocks
