I ordered a RBL 28 gauge when they were first offered. Waited with anticipation until delivery day. Opened the box and I was turned off immediately by the "swamped" rib, which to me is a short cut in manufacturing and the receiver engraving was buried with the case hardening process.
Never fired it and sold it while they were still a hot item. Looks are a big deal for me, as well as function. I think the Parker Reproduction has a lot more eye appeal and it is quality built at similar prices.
