Ditto to what mtw said. My first O/U was a Red Label as well; I have shot about everything with it (birds, deer, clays, skeet, etc.) as well as I ever have and never had a failure with it in 19 years and lots of use (unlike my Brownings and Spanish guns). It is a bit heavy, I will agree; keeps on swinging though! I also really like my Gold Label. Much more fun to carry, and I guess I got really lucky, but they fit me too, and I ended up with real pretty wood on both....Karma ??!!
