Hey guys, let's see some pictures of some Red Labels! I've wanted one for years and may get one soon…
Ruger Red Labels
- Thread starter mayberryrick

One of the best looking o/u ever made. Mine shoot very well, too.
It's my dream gun. I have wanted one for decades. For some reason they always elude me..
Makes me sick to think about one.
When I worked in maintenance at UTM I because somewhat close to a biology professor. He was actually a good dude, not your run of the mill whacko's that normally inhabit such a place.
Anyway, he was a big time quail hunter. This was 35+ years ago.
He had a browning that he had hunted with all his life.
He bought a brand new ruger red label.
After a few hunts he figured out that with the safety being in a different spot than he had been used to all his life he couldn't kill squat with it.
He was late on every bird.
He offered to sell it to me for what he paid for it.
$500
Of course just as now, I didn't have the extra money.

I had one once and never made friends with it. It was 26" 20 gauge and heavy, ended up selling it.

agreed. Love the way they look but heavy to carry on upland hunts. Great dove guns though
I have a 12ga and a 20ga.... I loved the 12ga until I got a 20ga...
It is not likely that I will ever pick the 12ga back up.

Alexander Auctions and Real Estate has a 20 gauge in mint condition, 26 inch barrel with box and paperwork. It is an online auction that ends Nov 2 at 6:30 pm. Good looking shotgun. They will ship for a fee. It is in Martin, Tn.
You can store it here. I'll pick it up once in a while for you.

I looked for a 20 gauge for several years before Gamaliel Shooting Supply found me one.

I had a couple in the past and could never get them to pattern well however, they were built like tanks and would last forever.

Had two and was glad to see them go, nothing special in my eyes and heavy.
I would stick to Italian OUs much more desirable, better resale and beautiful. When it comes to guns, fine leather and food Italians are hard to beat.

CZ makes a much nicer O/U

My dad received a custom Ducks Unlimited O/U Red Label as a gift. From the time I was a kid until now, I always admired that gun and a couple times I remember him thinking about selling it. Thankfully he still has it and I hope to one day be able to pass it down to my boys. Next time I get a chance I'll post a picture. It's a sweet looking gun and looks even better in the custom DU case.
