I bought a used Gold Label with the PG stock. The gun gave me no problems and I shot it quite well for the few years I had it. When I heard Ruger was no longer supporting them I got out. I suppose a good gunsmith could keep one running, but I didn't want to go there.
I'll always think fondly of the gun for one year I threw it in the truck as an afterthought on a South Dakota trip. I felt a little foolish bringing three shotguns along, but as luck would have it my two older 16 gauge guns went down with quirky mechanical problems, so the Gold Label had to step up and carry the trip.
