recently obtained another one of these to sell. wonderful gun. the only way it could be better is if it had two triggers. your opinion based on your own hands on experience with these fine guns would be appreciated.

Oh please. You couldn't care less about anyone's "opinion" of this gun, you just want it known you have one for sale. Are you that stupid to think we can't see that? Blatant advertising.

Search old threads. We've been over this....and over it.....and over it. I think anybody who has been paying attention could probably "lip synch" the chorus and the refrains by now!

Ed,
I don't know you so I checked your profile on this board. Your occupation is listed as "hobby gun dealer". I believe that makes you ineligible to take advantage of Dave's good will and advertise on this board doesn't it?? Although I am sure you would gladly send him the required fee if a sale is made, it really would be a shame to break the rules, don't you think?

Never hurts to review what's been said in the past, in the case of a gun such as the Gold Label. My opinion: Ruger did a nice job of getting the weight down. Wish they'd gone with two triggers and 2 3/4" chambers (gun's too light for mags anyhow), but they did not. But they took out weight by milling steel from the receiver. The result is a gun with a fairly significant weight forward (barrel heavy) bias. That may be OK for a target gun, but not so hot for a field gun. I'm also not a fan of the combination safety/selector.

I've only had the opportunity to handle one, and that briefly. It felt good in the hands, pretty svelte for a 12ga. Not a fan of single triggers and the combo switch seemed kind of rinky-dink to me. Personally I'd prefer some sort of color on the receiver. The one I handled was about $2200 new at the time; decent price I thought.

Not only what was stated above, but this is not the proper sub-forum to post his fried wares in.

I have to disagree with L. Brown on the muzzle heaviness. Mine is very, very slightly biased forward. Six pounds nine ounces and is a great bird gun IMO. Barrels measure nearly .750 if I remember correctly.....I'm thinking .752 actually. MUCH bigger than anything else I have. I do not understand the dislike of the safety/barrel selector.....works great for me and seems rather intuitive. The quite petite receiver makes it a joy to carry. My petite wife does well with it, too.

dave: we need some kinda utility, where we can delete posts that are not on topic with the thread.
too many malcontents seem to be posting on threads for no other purpose than to vent their pent up hostility . their posts clutter up threads and are a distraction from the topic.
