Ruger 77/17, 77/22, 77/357, 77/44 "Temporarily Discontinued"

"Temporarily", yet the email has this not-so-temporary sounding opening line:

This maybe your LAST CHANCEto get one of these great rifles!  Emphasis theirs.

Not too long after getting the above in an email, I get another with a link to enter one of Ruger's "Unannounced Product Giveaways".

I'm guessing its either a replacement for the 77/XX series...or something else.

Any idea what product(s) Ruger is needing production capacity for?  

[BarryinIN]

Don't know for sure, but...  

Ruger had a new product unveiling at Gunsite in September for firearms media, and according someone who was there they have at least a couple more handguns they haven't told us about yet.
