The BS was flying around the table a few days ago and someone brought up a Ruger Red Label Trap gun. This must be the Unicorn of the sport. I have never seen one. Why did Ruger stop these? Would love to see one.
they had them. not many made. red labels were cursed to begin with. so making a trap gun didnt help the issue. i do know, they kicked like a mule.
The number that always comes up when talking about the Trap gun is 300. The total number of their o/u field guns in 12,20 and 28 was over 150,000
it sorta fell into the same niche as mossberg making a model 500 high rib trap gun. it was cool, but it still was a model 500.
The Ruger Trap Gun was just that NOT A RED LABEL. only similarities was the brushed stainless receiver. I shot one for a few years but never got it set for myself. They only made around 300 to 400 of these. If I remember right the serial numbers started at 100 and ended in the low 400"s
What were the differences between the trap gun and Red Label then? The action seemed very similar to me, but it’s been years since I touched one and never owned one, either.
Yikes! Big money for one of those! I saw the same pic online as Flyer's. Very rare. I hope an owner pops his head up and gives a gun report.
