Some people complain about recoil in Red Labels, and a lot heap second-hand scorn on the guns. My only experience is with the 20 ga. version (two of the early blued receiver, fixed-choke jobs) and the guns have been faultless in function. I have had one of the guns in question since about 1975 and it has somewhere between 50k and 75k rounds through it. Good materials. Most will be on the heavy side in whatever gauge. The finish is consistent at fair to good; wood stands very proud but fit to metal is good, and some exterior surfaces are excessively buffed and rounded. Outstanding factory service if you ever need it. If you like 28 ga. guns and the looks of the Ruger, what's to hold you back?
