It is nothing than a re-branded CSMC revelation/inverness/21-o/u. At $1,000 higher cost than the Revelation. No different than what they did on that A grade Fox for Savage a few hears ago.

Not that the revelation is a bad gun. I feel they are a good gun for the money. But Ruger doing this is a mis-step in my opinion. Anyone who knows better, knows better.

Bill Ruger would be rolling over in his grave. Ruger should be MAKING guns they sell. Not just marketing them.

Brian, as a NH resident and supporter of Ruger for years I could not agree more with your comments.

Default Red Label 28 Engraved

Don't bad mouth the old Red Labels. I love this one for rabbits. 28 gauge, 28" with five chokes. Usually use skeet and full. It was the plain model, and I sent it back to the company that did their engraving work for the upgrade.

Default Ruger Red Label 20 gauge

I recently sold two of them in 26" 20 gauge. One skeet/skeet and the other one IC/Mod and struggled to get $1400 out of them and they were pretty much mint. I can't imagine what the business analysis was to support this decision.
