Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Red Label, particularly this 1998 example chambered in 12 gauge, represents Bill Ruger’s successful effort to make a high-quality over/under shotgun accessible to the average American shooter. At a time when most over/unders were considered luxury imports, Ruger recognized a gap in the market and committed to producing a durable, reliable, and well-balanced double gun entirely in-house. The result was the Red Label—a shotgun that delivered the handling and accuracy advantages of an over/under at a far more attainable price point. Its stainless-steel receiver, solid lockup, and reputation for rugged performance helped it become a favorite among upland hunters and recreational clay shooters alike.
