You can generally find a used but not abused Nitro Special in 12, 16 or 20 gauge for around half of that.
Just ‘sayin….

I wish Ruger would farm out the Gold Label to the Turks and bring it out in a 20 gauge or better yet a 16. I have one of the originals and it has proven to be a very good one. I just wish Ruger had thought better to bring it out in a twenty or also in a 20 with the 12 rater than a 6.5 pound 12 gauge with 3 inch chambers!!

be wary of gold label guns...
some do not shoot both barrels to point of aim and are difficult to re regulate, as maker joined barrels by brazing full length...
plus, their architecture is not as pleasing to the eye as your typical pre war English style box lock gon...
an then there are those twin obamanations, choke tubes and single triggers...

I never cared for the Gold Label or the Red Label from Ruger. You can buy a quality English double for way less. I'm not knocking Ruger but There are better guns out there for less money.

Your forgetfulness is marked given your shilling for Darnes, but again, direct from JJ Perodeau and I forget who at Briley. The guy at Skeetz in OK or was it AR, that Stan is so hot for was none to chili red hot about Darnes either. Face it, they made more than their share of lemons, including the one you used to own and recommended that I buy. You should stick to Sturmy Archers and other such obsolete stuff that no one here cares about. Cheers.
