I read about this on the Ruger forum a few days ago. There are a lot of ifs, buts and ANDS about this gun. A lot of people loved the older Ruger shotguns and had great success with them. I have a buddy who still shoots his 28 gauge- shoots it well, and loves it. On the other hand there were so many people who had problems with theirs and had to continue to send them back to Ruger with the same problem over and over. I always had the feeling that the people at Ruger were happy to drop this line of guns because they caused so many problems. Some people might buy them because they have the old ones and love the Ruger name. It will be a situation similar to the new Colt Pythons that are being produced. Other people might not buy them because of the CSMC and their dislike for that company. Others might buy them because they feel CSMC will make them and warranty them better. I am wondering also who is going to warranty them. I wonder if it will be Ruger. It is just another wait and see thing. Good luck!!
