If Ruger made a quality pump action shotgun with decent wood, I would buy one. Just Saying!
chet15 said:Ruger had a prototype of a Model 12 type pump shotgun at the 1995 SHOT Show. It was pulled before the crowd came in so not too many people got to see it.
Then as late as 2003 they'd worked on a semi-auto shotgun.
It is presumed that with the plethora of low-ball priced pump and semi-auto shotguns on the market, that the company felt there would be no way for them to compete.

mattsbox99 said:I agree with Bill. The market may be saturated, but they if they build a pump or auto like their 1911 they will have yet another winner. Don't forget the market was saturated when the LCP, LC9, American Rifle, & SR1911 were introduced.
