Ruger Red Label III 20 GA 28" 2rd Walnut Shotgun

The Red Label is back. Ruger's Red Label III marks the return of one of America's best known over under shotguns, built for Ruger by the craftsmen at Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company (CSMC). This one is a 20 gauge with 28 inch barrels and a 3 inch chamber, so it handles both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. The alloy steel receiver is precision machined and finely polished, and its hand fitted locking system keeps lockup tight through thousands of rounds. The barrel assembly is brazed, blued and topped with a matted vent rib, and the bore is smooth plated for steel shot, which matters if ducks are on your list.

The walnut stock has a neutral cast, roughly 24 lines per inch of checkering, 1 1/2 inch drop at comb and 2 1/2 inch drop at heel. A single inertia trigger runs the gun. Five screw in Tru-Choke style tubes come with it, so one shotgun can cover skeet, sporting clays, upland birds and waterfowl. At about 6.2 pounds it is easy to carry through a long day in the field, and it comes in a premium custom case.
