IMO the RBL 28ga is the best of the lot of all the RBL gauges. Tony got it right when he scaled the 28ga and the engraving was a much nicer pattern than the launch edition 20's. The one my buddy had was a really nice gun!
Even with that said I still fall in the reproduction camp. I bit on the RBL deal the first week of the launch edition, paid in full, waited through all the drama and then shot the gun some and sold it because I felt it didn't match up to the reproduction Parkers I owned.
Then I ordered an RBL 28ga, paid in full the first week you could order one. Then during the wait, I found a repro 28ga with a single set of 28" barrels,double triggers and bought it. After shooting the repro I cancelled the RBL order and haven't looked back since.
The only place I see the RBL's have anything over the repro's is they are made in America. Rather than an American design made in Japan. I do admire Tony Galazan for what he is doing for the double gunning community and made in America to boot. The RBL just isn't my cup of tea.
