I just acquired an older Ruger red label 20 ga O/U with 3" chambers. Is it OK to shoot 2-3/4" shells?

I am fairly new to shooting shotguns. I am planning on purchasing an O/U 12 gauge. Are there less expensive guns that perform as well or better than the ruger red label? This gun will be used mostly for clays but some bird hunting also. Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know if the receiver for a 28Ga is a different size than the receiver of a 20 ga on the ruger red label?
Thanks

I have an older Ruger Red Label in very good condition and don't know where to start to find out what it is worth. The gun I have was not manufactued in the country they are now and it does not have chokes as they did not have them when this one was manufactured. Can someone assist me please?

I have a older red label with 26inch m/ic barrels fixed chokes.Want to shoot skeet with it.Will I need to have screw in chokes installed or will this gun be alright to use.I shot a pateren and at 40yd's in a 30inch circle 95% & 98% in each tube.I know skeet is shot at a shorter range but will that make that much difference in chokes.Also by adding chokes to a fixed choke gun would that devalue the gun. thanks for any help on this.

SF... I have an older Red Label, prior to screw-in chokes. It is a nice gun, easy and fun to shoot.

The barrel selector is part of the safety and very easy to use. It fits me well, and points nicely.

Ruger has always made very nice guns, and the Red Ladels are no exception. I bought mine used from the estate of Col Charlie Beckwith of Vietnam Special Forces fame.
As I mentioned, mine is an early sample, and I did have it lock up on me. The problem was easily solved by Ruger. I shipped it to them with a letter, and they went through it, fixed the problem, and quickly shipped it back at no charge.

I have three; 12 Ga, 20 Ga & 28 Ga. All function flawlessly. All have the "normal" features - screw in chokes, pistol grip or English stock (I prefer pistol grip), are available in various length barrels (I prefer 26"). Trigger pull is acceptable for the type shooting that I do - some clay pigeon practice, but almost exclusively field use. Fit and finish are very good to excellent. The only negative is the weight. I would sure like it if the weight was, say, 8 to 10 oz less; kinda' like the Beretta - the 12 Ga in Beretta is lighter than my 20 Ga. (Beretta also costs ~2.5 times what I would pay for the Ruger)

But other than that I have NEVER experienced any problems with the Ruger. When I had my shop I always recommended them and I would continue to recommend them today, in any caliber, gauge, action - as a good value for your money.

Just my opinion.....[:)]

Was dead set on a Red Label 20 gauge because of its looks, its exceptional reliability history and a stainless frame. Disappointingly, neither pistol grip or English stock model pointed well for me. Both the Citori and Beretta did and both are lighter. A used Beretta came my way and I snagged it.
Don't go by looks. It's a pain to adapt to a gun that doesnt properly fit you.

I just bought one as of now. IF I don't like it, someone else can shoot it. We shall see.GB Item 17715845.

bobski, I wanna shoot this O/U. Has 5 chokes that comes with it and two of them are skeet. Will give a report after it arrives.

I used to have one of thier all-weather models. While I liked it a lot, I had one major complaint with it. I bought it for waterfowling and it was simply to shiny of stainless to work well for that role. They now offer a matte stainless model that would be better served if you have similar uses for it. In the end, I found I used my Benelli Super Black Eagle more and used it for all hunting (so I didn't have to get used to a different gun for each season). However, I never had any problems at all with the Red Label.

BOUGHT A WOODSIDE 12 GA. WHEN THEY FIRST BECAME AVAILABLE . THE WEIGHT WAS STILL A LITTLE ON THE HEAVY SIDE FOR MY LIKING. THE RED LABEL IS A GREAT BUY IN COMPARISON TO MANY . BEAUTIFULLY MADE WITH DESCENT WOOD FINISH,FIT , AND CRAFTSMANSHIP . I LOVED EVERTHING ABOUT IT BUT THE WAY IT POINTED , IT DIDN'T POINT WERE I LOOKED . I WAS ONE OF MANY THAT IT JUST DIDN'T FIT . FIT AND FEEL ARE EVERTHING IN A GOOD BIRD GUN OR SKEET/CLAYS GUN. SEE HOW IT POINTS FOR YOU . THE ONLY COMPLAINTS I'VE HEARD ARE THE SAME ONES I'M READING HEAR.FIT/FEEL

Im in my third season with the 20 gauge,it performs well. It shoulders well for me as I have a prefrence for a field gun having a longer drop in the stock. As a consequence, there is more felt recoil(kick)
