New Shotgun
Ruger Red Label 12 ga.
Some guys love them. Others hate them. Guess which camp I'm in? From old stock. Brand new.

Nice looking shotgun. I've had a couple SxS guns with a straight grip and now enjoy a pump so equipped. Let me know how you shoot with this one.
Thanks.... |

I got hooked on straight stocks with my leverguns. I can't put my finger on it, but they just seem "right" to me.

Yup on leverguns. Got a 94 here that handles well.
All the shotguns I've owned with straight grips were better than average shooters. The little 20 gauge 870 here is a joy on close and fast shot opps. For high volume shooting, I still like a curved grip, but bird shooting rarely gets into those numbers. |
