Ruger Red Label question

chucksnee · 11-01-2009, 08:33 AM

Hey all, couple questions...

1st, my friend has a Ruger Red Label. It has been magna-ported (I think that is what it is called) and is a complete skeet gun, with adjustable kick pad (up, down, left, right, and can even be canted). It also has had something done internally to the barrels....smoothed or something...?

2nd, he also has a remingtion 1100 also with the same modifications...

What would these be worth, I can post pictures...

Both guns are 10 - 15 years lod or older....

Out of a 1 - 10 I would put the Ruger around a 6.5 and the Remingtion around 7.0

Oh and the remingtion also has tube chokes....

Skeet guns can be a great buy. But, I would make sure about wear. Keep in mind that clay pigeon guns have had a LOT of rounds through them. May not be a big deal but I have seen some Competition over and under shotguns that were very loose and very worn.

Both are quality guns and I am a fan of both. Might be a good idea to have a gunsmith check out both shotguns before you decide which one to purchase. Spare parts and replacement parts will be easier to find and cheaper for the Remington.

My guess on price would be between 600 and 800 for the Ruger and 300 to 550 for the Remington. But I will double check my book when I get to them.
