I do like Ruger for riffles and revolvers. I think the Ruger #1 is just a great rifle along with the M77 and their first productions Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt are just wonderful.
In 2000, I ordered a new 12ga Red Label Woodside with a straight stock and 28" barrels. It was my first "high dollar" shotgun. It was a good looking gun and I tried so hard to fall in love with it. I just didn't shoot it well. Looking back some Briley chokes might have helped over the factory ones. I sold it one my Parker addiction started. I do regret that a little, but if you saw me shoot it you would agree, it was frustrating to say the least.
In the last year or two I bought a 28ga Red Label that I think one of my kids will use. The stock had been cut, which was perfect and I bought a replacement stock to add when needed. All is all it seems like a nice gun.
When Ruger introduced their Gold Label, I really tried to get excited about that too, but I just couldn't.
Like others have said, it would be great if Ruger was actually making these. I might give one another try, even though I am 99.99% sxs these days.
