Bill Ruger was an amazing inventor and innovator but he really lacked leadership in terms of Quality. Many older Rugers were hit of miss...original 77s were a crap shoot in terms of accuracy. Mini 14s had horrid triggers.
Everyone laments the passing of the Red Label. They were a good field gun but I personally know 3 that were used for sporting clays that had the mid rib separate at less than 1000 rounds.
