I wanted to like the Red Label, but couldn't shoot it very well. Same could be said of the Browning O/U's. Beretta fits me like a glove and I shoot Beretta 686 series guns better than anything else I have tried by a wide margin. Makes me the odd man out around here as this is Browning country. Browning guns are top of the heap in my neck of the woods. And there are a lot of Ruger handguns, rimfires and centerfire rifles sold locally here so a Red Label is a sought after shotgun. With that said, only one guy at my shotgun club shot a RL for awhile. He got rid of it because it gave him some trouble and Ruger tried to fix it twice and couldn't. Only other Red Label I know of in action is a rabbit hunter that has a 28 gauge. He loves his little RL 28 for busting bunnies in front of his beagles. Wonder why Ruger dropped the Red Label?


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
