My Wife had Ruger Red Labels. The one that has gotten the most use was the original blued receiver 26-inch barrel 20-gauge choked improved cylinder and modified, which she used for Doves. My Father used it for Geese on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for two trips when he came to visit in January 1980 and 81. When they are in over the decoys you don't need a cannon!! The guy who ran our lease near Bucktown actually used a Remington 1100 20-gauge skeet gun. My Wife doesn't shoot much any more and her stainless steel versions have flowed down the river of commerce, but we still have her blued receiver 20-gauge and a rather scarce very early blued steel receiver 12-gauge NIB.
None of them ever gave us a bit of trouble, and I'd rate that 28-inch barrel 28-gauge as the one of the best handling 28-gauges I've ever shot.
