We just bought my freind one for his wedding present, nice huh, he's used it all season and loves it, I was thinking about buying one also, we were going to get a berretta but the barrell selector is crap compared to the rugers, and all the other brands of guns that we opened felt like a very poorly machined opening lever, they all felt like they were grinding when you pushed them open, and rugers are made in the usa, personaly I like the red label better than most other o.u. that I've shot at least there the best in that price range.
