The shotgun’s striking appearance reflects both form and function. It combines a stainless barrel with a contrasting stainless steel receiver, adorned with scroll engraving and “Ruger” stamped in gold, giving it a refined yet purposeful look. The white front bead and silver mid-bead sight system ensure quick and accurate target acquisition, enhancing its effectiveness in competitive environments. A factory-installed adjustable comb enables shooters to tailor the gun’s fit to their exact cheek weld and sight picture, a crucial element in optimizing repeatable performance. The deluxe walnut stock, with fine checkering and a beavertail forearm, provides a secure grip and classic aesthetic appeal, while also aiding in recoil management and overall comfort during long shooting sessions.
The Red Label Trap Model represents a unique moment in Ruger's shotgun history—an ambitious attempt to build a purpose-driven, American-made trap gun that blended elegance with precision. Its extremely limited production run of only 300 units ensures that it remains highly collectible and sought after by enthusiasts and trap shooters alike. As a rare variant in the iconic Red Label series, this model is not only a capable tool for the range but also a prized piece of firearms craftsmanship that commemorates Ruger’s short but meaningful foray into dedicated trap gun manufacturing.
