I have owned 4 Red Labels--- all 20's with blued frames and fixed chokes and never had a problem with any. All these guns were bought used and one was bored SK/SK and WELL used. I have finally settled on one--- a 26" IC/M gun first year production.
Granted, they are a little heavier than some of their competition, but I find that a benefit rather than a hindrance. The truckloads of doves that have fallen victim can testify to that! Another benefit not mentioned is that the blued frame guns are developing a following--- I doubt that the gazillion Citori's produced will become collectable in our lifetime.
