Never was a fan of Ruger Red Labels and certainly am not a fan of CSMC. But that's just me. I love Ruger revolvers and love my Mini 14. I was lucky enough to see Bill Rugers Red Label prototype in all blued finish, looks better than the chrome look.

Maybe just a O/U configuration of an RBL?

I have handled Ruger Red labels, both 12 and 20 and did not find the handling qualities and balance to my way of shooting or carrying. They were weighty, blocky and cumbersome.
A skeet shooting friend owned an industrial engraving co. and did a lot of their work. He was showing me a new model of the Red label sent to him for engraving about 8 years ago which the company never made. It was a cheapened version and they did not want it back. |

Of all the guns in my closet when my father came east to go goose hunting at my lease at Bucktown, Maryland, the gun he chose was my wife's early, blued frame, 20-gauge Ruger Red Label --

I guess I will stick with my 12 and 20 ga sporting clays red labels. Problem is that I can't remember the last time I shot them!

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.
