Ruger #1 Liberty Model Question

I just picked up a Ruger #1A in 7x57. It is in nice condition but it has been in the field. Bought it on line and upon receipt of the rifle I noticed it was a "Liberty" model made in 1976. Does the Liberty stamp add any value or collect ability. Just wondering I bought it to hunt, that will not change, just wondered about the inscription...Thanks for any input!

Some of the Liberty guns seem to have the "Warning" and address of Ruger on the barrel, and others don't. I think the pre-warning guns might bring a little bit more. But I agree with butchloc, the Liberty stamp doesn't appear to impact value one way or the other.

Just an easy way to date the rifle. Wink
