The facts are indeed unclear if you choose to believe internet myths, and rumors. But if you don't believe those high up at Ruger who have dispelled these myths, you'll continue to wonder what's true.
I think once I read that Ruger company officials disputed the myth, I didn't waste any more time on the subject. But you're free to continue the myths if you choose to.

I wonder what's the point of further discussion. If Ruger is ending them it means too few care about them and one being me.

I've owned a few, and always thought Ruger missed the boat on not offering some different options. A heavier octagon or half octagon barrel. A more slender forearm without the ugly groove cut in the end. Set trigger. A modified tang safety so a good sight could be used.
I recently came into another Ruger #1 in 7x57 with the old red buttpad, which is a caliber I'm pretty fond of. Took it as part payment on a Ballard #1 1/2 I was selling. It came with a 2x7 Redfield scope and 100 new brass. Figured I'd play with it a little and move it along for the $750 I allowed on trade.
If I kept it, I'd want to spend money on it to make it look good, so best to move it later.
