I won't lie. I ordered on last week. Not in hand yet, but should be a deal.

Nice looking O/U, and it seems like a good value to.

I just got one the first week of January and shot it at some clays Monday. Pistol grip 28" barrels, wood upgrade and recoil pad. Wonderful.

I don't understand CSMC's pricing. I bought one of the early Inverness guns for something around $2700, and the next thing I know they have repriced the gun to about $9K. Turns out the gun didn't "talk to me" so it went down the road for a bunch more than I had in it. Thanks, Tony!

I'm not complaining about the price of my Inverness, nor would I complain about $1995.00 for the latest entry. Kenneth seems to have struck gold with his upgraded wood.

Thanks Bill, I drug my feet years ago when CSMC offered the launch addition of the RBL and had been sorry since. This offer for an American made gun at the price seamed to make sense. I've tried a lot of different guns for bird hunting in my life, I like sxs mostly but I enjoy an O/U too. I went with the wood upgrade because I probably won't hunt with it.

I've also got an early RBL (#198) with exhibition Turkish on it. Great gun. That gun is why I opted for the Inverness, but it didn't excite me like the RBL

I should have bought the RBL Pro Hunter when they first were introduced. Can't touch it today for anywhere near that price.

I wish I had bought one of his Fox guns when they first came out. What barrel length did you choose? I think 30's would be awesome on the clays course or for pheasants and doves.

Milt Fitterman 02-23-2019 06:31 PM

I have an Inverness with 30" barrels. I cannot say enough for the feel. The same with the RBL 28g. however the RBL 20g. does not do anything for me although I have one also. Customer care has been top notch even when I was the cause of the problem.

Kenneth V Jones 02-23-2019 08:18 PM

That's good to hear Milt. My Launch RBL is NIB. I would hate to take it out and it not preform!

I bought two Revelations when they were first introduced. Little issues, like bluing salts leaking from the ribs and a live ejector after some use were quickly fixed by CSM.

I love my RBL that I had built for me. A 12 gauge built on a 16 gauge frame with choke tubes to my exact measurements. My go to clays gun.

I love my RBL’s. My 20 gauge is one of my main go to guns for quail. The only complaint is the checkering is very dark and I think with just a little extra help the wood grain would really pop on this gun.
I also have an A10 that Chris Dawe up graded the checkering on thats stunning and shoots fantastic.

John Dallas 02-24-2019 07:36 PM

I think the checkering on the RBL's is somehow done with a laser, and as a result, "burns" the wood. Anyone else heard that?

Phillip Carr 02-24-2019 08:05 PM

John you are correct. I had a trip to Hartford right after I recieved the RBL and they recut by hand. It cleaned up the checkering and it did help but someday I will have the wood stripped, refinished and recheckered with an upgrade pattern.
