I am nonetheless looking for a excellent cost-effective 28 gauge shotgun that can be utilized for sporting clays and quail hunting. I have looked at all the alternatives, specially the brownings. I can buy them at about wholesale cost. This week although teaching a course called instinctive shooting, a client showed up with a Ruger Red Label 28 gauge with .410 tubes. After the class I asked the client if I could shoot a round of skeet with his firearm and quickly ran the field with a new box of Winchester HS loads. It had the shorter 26-inch barrel that usually I do not care for. It was a joy to shoot. The client informed me that he taken this 28 to Argentina dove shooting for the final five years and it has in no way failed him. He also has a Browning Citori lightning in 28 that he also likes. However the Browning had mechanical difficulties final year and he nevertheless did not have it back from the shop. I asked him how a lot of rounds he figures he has put via his Red Label and his answer truly surprised me. He stated that his ammo bill last spring was a tiny over $3,000.00 or about 9000 rounds. He felt that he had shot about 42,000 rounds in the gun more than the last 5 years of dove and pigeon shooting. The little 28 still looked to be in extremely great condition. After listening to his dissertation, I showed him my 12 ga Red label that has much more than 20,000 rounds through it. The bluing on the back of the trigger guard is long gone. I use it for the class I teach and occasionally for sporting clays. Last year right after a couple of rounds of sporting clays a crack began to run from the tang down into the pistol grip. I was devastated as the wood on this distinct gun was really good indeed. Reluctantly I called Ruger just before Christmas and was told to send it proper right after new years. So shortly there following I packaged it up and sent it off questioning if I would ever see it again. Well 13 days later it was back with new wood and new firing pins and springs. I was elated but the best component was all the work was accomplished for free of charge. Hey Free of charge is good I mean this is a 10 year old gun! So after shooting another round of skeet with the tubes removed and only dropping one particular bird, I am thinking that I may contemplate going with the Red Label. Nevertheless, I will appear for a gun with 28 inch barrels. I am not confident if I will spring for the 410 tubes but I might in the future. I still like the Browning but at half the price tag and twice the service, I am giving the Red Label a closer look. More than the years I have observed or heard lots of unfavorable feedback concerning the Red Label. Nonetheless, I have come to realize that most shotgun shooters have lots of opinions but really tiny expertise when comes to deciding on a firearm. I am just as bad as I often read articles about firearms written by individuals who really have no in depth experience with that distinct firearm. Final Saturday I happen to run into the one of Presidents Guides on the range and guess what he had in hand, a Ruger Red Label in 28 gauge. It had lots of field and handling marks on the receiver and wood. I asked him if he liked it, He just looked down at it shrugged his shoulders and stated nicely its no longer fairly but always works I guess that sort of says it all doesnt it. shop ebay
