I've used a Ruger 30" Sporting Clays 12ga since the early or middle 90's. Never had a problem, never even a hiccup. It's my go-to SC gun. If you're not happy with one, or find one at a reasonable price, please let me know. I like them in pairs and only have one in 12ga. Love my 20ga, too. And apparently, I'm the only one that appreciated the Gold Label. Never should have let it get away.
