Ruger Red Label Reintroduced

[Kirk Potter]

The Red Label holds a special place in my heart, it was my first true double gun. At the time (my early 20’s) it was a pretty high end purchase at $1,250. Shot a lot of grouse and woodcock with it and have great memories with some great dogs.

The problem is that there is such a small market for double guns that to be American made it’s going to have to be more than most people are willing to pay. I don’t blame them for not wanting to spend the money on development costs and machinery for a low volume gun. Just the world we live in now.

I agree to a point Kirk. However, O/U shotguns sell like hotcakes. If someone is looking for an O/U, a new Browning or Beretta would probably be purchased before a Red Label especially at the CSMC price. Just sayin’.

Agree. It is damn hard to beat a Citori. The Toyota Corolla of O/U shotguns.
