Default Ruger Red Label 12Ga

I have been looking for a quality O/U for quite some time and finally went out and bought a Ruger Red Label Engraved in 12Ga. I have considered many diffent makes, primarily models from the main B's but I have yet to see wood as nice as this stock. Quality finish and fit all around. I wanted to throw some pics up as I had a hard time finding some when I was shopping around. I hope others are enjoying these Rugers as much as I am!

Looks are nice, but the most important thing as far as shotguns are concerned, is that it fits you properly.

I was considering a Ruger Red Label myself but the only retailer I know of that carries them is Wholesale Sports, which of course was/is/always will be out of stock on them.

They look very slick.

I was on a prairie chicken hunt a few years ago and got to use a Red Label in 20 ga. I've been a real fan ever since. That one is a beauty.

Shawn I think everyone on this forum would agree we'd all be rich if we got paid a buck for hearing WSS gun counter say "oops, it looks like i'm sold out of that one."

I don't know what bugs me more, the lack of inventory OR the tone of their voice as though they're surprised its not in stock.
