Used to. In short, it's a Ruger. Very serviceable, built as you'd imagine, a tank. Does not have the finesse or style of an Italian gun, but is priced as one. No doubt why they never achieved a fraction of the success they should have in the UK because nicer, bug not necessarily better, gun were in the same price bracket.
It was dropped from the Ruger catalog a few years ago as they weren't even selling there. I read that with the production stopped, there was not a domestically produced O/U shotgun made in the US. Somewhat of a surprise. But that said, I read again somewhere that limited production may start up again.
The full stainless would have been my choice, but couldn't find one. Decided to look for a 20 bore so hopefully would be a wee bit more, well, "handy". Did find one but it was rough. But on my quest was introduced to Blaser. Dont look for Red Labels now.
