With all due respect, producing a decent double, at less than 3 large or so, even with CNC machinery, must be pretty tough to do-the list of companies doing it is pretty short. From all the blather here, and elsewhere concerning the RBL, I wonder if Tony G would do it all over again if he had the choice.
The thing about the Ruger stuff is, they will attempt to take care of you if you have a problem with the gun-customer service seems exemplary from them.
A Ruger Gold Label, with even just so so wood, in 16, with double triggers, would have suited me just fine as well. My own fixed choke Red Label went down the road many seasons past, one of the reasons being that single trigger and the silly safety that went hand in hand with it. But, the gun never failed to go bang, and, of course, never had to see a gunsmith. I don't think many of them do.
Best,
Ted
