New RRLs available now for $1100 pre-order, delivery by 12/1/13. Can't touch a 686 or Citori for anything close to that.

Well Christmas is coming so I ordered three for my sons. With two of them they will get very light use but my middle son will put it through its paces. That boy was born to hunt and like me born fifty years too late.
Ever consider every generation thinks the one before them hunted in the golden era. Where I grew up deer hunting is better today than ever before. Bird hunting is down to just a few percent compared to 40-50 years ago. Some things are good and something's are just a memory.

My only experience with the Ruger RL is that some years back I picked up a 28 ga. with 28" barrels and a pistol grip stock. It has been a great O/U shotgun, a joy to shoot and carry in the fields. Then a few years ago I was lucky enough to find a set of Ruger tubes made by Briley for the 410 bore is complete for me now. It would behoove Ruger to bring it back out.

Talked to a Ruger engraver at SHOT long enough ago that there was a little hope the Gold Label might be brought back. His comment was that the powers that be at Ruger really don't understand shotguns, or how they should be made. Old Bill had the right idea with the Gold Label, but even that wasn't as good as it could have been. MKII

Why is the American shotgun market dominated by pump actions and semi-automatics ? Is it simply a cultural thing ? Are they that much cheaper than a double barrel ? On this side of the atlantic the over and under dominates in clays and side by sides are used a lot for game shooting still, though semis are being used more and more, mainly by younger shooters. I'm not attacking American shooters , just trying to understand the trends.

Money is a huge driver. Witness all the requests on other boards for the "best" O/U under $600. And you can not talk them out of it. After they do try it, they are convinced that all O/Us are junk. Same with SxSs. WalMart mentality.

I did use a mossberg pump action once, absolutely hated it compared to my browning 325. Surely in a country as large as the USA the economy of scale would make decent ou's reasonably priced ? Over here browning shotguns aren't cheap, but they are not that expensive that the average guy serious about owning one couldn't aspire to one. I really don't think i could return to use a magazine fed shotgun after i used a double barrel, maybe as a farm implement but that would be about it.
