I have 3 RL's. All bought when I was just starting out shooting shotguns and knew doodly squat about shotguns.
Today I would prefer a Benelli auto 1st and Browning auto 2nd in my choice of shotguns for sporting clays. If I had to shoot an U/O it would be a Beretta. I would not advise the purchase of a RL.
YMMV

Got that in a email message form Ruger this morning. Have never shot a RL but always liked the looks of them. Steel shot safe?

If you're an upland hunter, wait for the 28s!

This is great news; time to start saving pennies...aluminum cans....whatever...imdeed!
This time i'll HAVE my Red Label, God willing...
though hopefully, by the time i pull the trigger...it'll be a 20ga.
Least now there's hope...thanks, Ruger!

RL's are muzzle heavy pigs even with the barrel side spacers removed and thrown into the recycle bin. After spending a number of years on the sporting clays course I tried a number of different guns. A sporting shotgun should SWING. A RL does not. And over time I came to consider a good semi as better than an U/O for my shooting.
I suspect the reintro RL will still be a muzzle heavy pig.

Did they just gain value or lose it with the re-intro?

A 20 gauge Gold Label would be just lovely.

So what are you asking for your 12 gauge RL?

Hi,
This question's probably for Jeff Q:
The original RL developed a reputation on our target fields as being a bit "club like." I wouldn't go so far as that "muzzle heavy pig" comment, though, especially in the smaller gauges. They weren't "bad" so much as there was just something missing in the feel. Perhaps "not very lively" would describe it?
How does the new one handle in comparison?

I have the 26 inch here, and it balances very well for me. Of course, shotgun fit and feel is a subjective matter, but it feels as if Ruger has thinned the barrels a bit, along with getting rid of the side ribs. The matter of balance depends upon your chosen target game or your quarry. A duck hunter or trap shooter usually prefers a heavier muzzle than does a bobwhite hunter or skeet shooter. Try to handle one, and see how well it fits your body and your needs.
