I like the balance on mine. I’d consider it more a matter of personal preference than a design flaw. Anyone else have a similar experience?
You hit the nail on the head there, djohnson! Maybe I just need to adjust my stance or practice more. The feel of the shotgun is still excellent otherwise.
At the end of the day, the Ruger Red Label is a great shotgun, but it won’t suit everyone. Balancing preferences between lighter frame and aesthetics is key!
I’ve had my Ruger Red Label 12 gauge for a couple of years now, and I’m really impressed with the fit and finish. It’s well-balanced and feels great in hand. How does it compare to other shotguns in this price range, though?
Absolutely agree! I love the lightweight design, making it perfect for a long day of shooting. Anyone tried it against the Browning Citori?

I think the Ruger Red Label offers great value, especially for upland bird hunting. It’s priced competitively with other over-and-under models like the Beretta 686. Has anyone had issues with reliability?
I’ve fired both the Ruger Red Label and a Beretta. I found the Ruger to be more user-friendly initially, but the Beretta had better handling overall. It depends on what you prioritize – ease of use or precision.

What about user satisfaction overall? I’ve heard mixed reviews on the Red Label. Some say it feels a bit too clunky compared to other brands in the same category. Anyone else feel the same?

Interesting point! I find it quite comfortable, but perhaps it doesn’t suit everyone’s taste. What shotgun do you consider the best for beginners?
If I had to choose a starter shotgun, I’d recommend the Remington 870 for its reliability. However, the Ruger Red Label makes a fantastic option for those wanting to step up their game. Just needs a little getting used to!

Exactly! I think it’s a solid choice for intermediate shooters. Do shooters find it easy to clean and maintain?
Maintenance is pretty straightforward, but I’ve heard it can be sensitive to dust and moisture. It’s crucial to keep it clean. I personally love it for clay shooting sessions!
So, is anyone here familiar with how the Ruger Red Label fares in terms of resale value? Curious to know if it holds up well in the market!

Resale value is decent! The Ruger Red Label typically holds its value better than many others due to its reputation. But for what you pay, do you think it has the highest value for money?
