Ruger Red Label 5

I owned a Red Label 12 ga. for years, and had a tough decision when I lusted for the 28 ga. version. I reluctantly traded in the 12 for the little 28 (can't shoot two at one time). Unbelievably, both guns had to be returned to Ruger for repair. The 12 ga stock cracked at the pistol grip. It had remarkable wood for a Red Label with beautiful figure, and that's most likely why it cracked. They replaced all the wood with the more usual straight grain stuff. Service was quick and excellent. The 28 misfired on the bottom barrel right out of the box. Sent it back and got a loaner from the repair shop in NH. It locked up and the barrel selector would not move! This after only about 4 shots. Three Rugers, three sent back! Why five stars then? The incredible service! No one could possibly treat a customer better. And I love the guns. Basic, solid, no nonsense. Not a fancy gun I'd hesitate to carry through a briar patch after grouse which is exactly where the brand new 28 went on it's first trip.
