Ted, I talked to Bill Ruger at two different shows - years apart. We all know that he was an excellent businessman with very good product timing; example Ruger No.1 etc. - Ruger as a business is successful and has grown. Secondly, Bill Ruger Sr. was a traditionalist and was interested in doubles. I do not consider myself as the end all of knowledge here. No - I've never owned a Ruger product. The Gold Label does interest me however. Other than the mere $40K selling price of the cased show gun they had at the Vintagers 3 years ago, go I.
