They didn't make a lot of them.
The gun had point of impact problem from the start, and the project was abandoned when SR&C couldn't find a way to make barrels that shot to point of aim, at least not that would return a profit.
You might search the forum for other Gold Label threads.

Well that sucks. I'm lookingnfor a decent light weight 12 gauge with choke tubes to use out west hunting and i was hoping the gold label would be it.
Thanks for all the info

Unless you want one in order to show and say "here's the only side-by-side Ruger ever made", look elsewhere for a shooting sxs.

Fellow in our skeet club used one for about six months. Decent shooter who became a below average shooter. Thought it was because the gun was so light. Point of impact was off but I never heard by how much. He sold the gun and bought a browning sidelock. A much nicer gun in my books.

Some of the guys here misread the initial post as RED Label. It's Gold--the short-lived sxs. Only ever produced in 12ga.
$3800 doesn't look out of line for asking prices on Gold Labels . . . not that I'd pay that much. If you're looking for a good modern boxlock for that kind of money, you should be able to find a Parker Reproduction in 12 gauge. Much better gun, and offered in various configurations.

Shoot it first and then decide. If there's no issue with the barrel regulation and its at a reasonable price, Its an otherwise nice double. On the lighter side for a 12Ga too.

If OP does not need 3” chambers, think about a nice Sterlingworth for under $1K and add choke tubes if necessary, Heresy? Maybe.

If there's no issue with the barrel regulation and its at a reasonable price ......... The price is stated clearly as $3800. There's nothing reasonable about a Gold Label 12 ga. at that price, IMO. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
