Ruger Gold Label

Has anyone shouldered one of these? I've seen a couple mag articles on them, and the response seems to be good, but I was wondering what your opinion is? Also, what was the asking price when you saw it? TIA.

Gold lable? New one to me what mags did you see it in?

Typical for Ruger to announce a new gun and then not have any in the stores for at least a year or more. The advertised price is $1995.00. Only in 12ga to start and too heavy according to what I've read(7.5lbs). I'm waiting for the Weatherby SxS's to show up, I called them and they expect to have them by Sept. I want a 28ga Orion model(6 1/4lbs $1099.00).

Rock,
The American Rifleman had the best write up in the April or May issue.

Thanks Dave...Is the 28ga between a 410ga and 20ga power wise?

The 28ga. is closer to the 20 than the .410. Target loads are 3/4 oz. and hunting loads are 1oz. But there is no 3" 28ga 2 3/4" only. Bore dia is .550, 20 is .615, and .410 is .410, a .410 would be a 67 1/2ga.
