It was several weeks ago now and there i was bored, nothing to do and nothing on the TV. In this scenario i normally cruise round the internet
looking at ROCS, obviously, other gun forums and gun classifieds and the classifieds usually end up costing me money. That night was no exception.
When searching i always look for Ruger Red Labels first and if there are any for sale they are usually ones i already have.
Here in the U.K. Ruger Red Labels are not particularly rare but also there are not that many for sale and the ones that are normally are stainless receiver, blue barrels and wood furniture and sometimes the odd All Weather is up for sale. When i spotted in the listing a 50th Anniversary model i clicked on the link straight away and was happy with what i saw. I forwarded an email to the vendor straight away requesting a few more photos and then awaited a reply. The next day the photos arrived so i called them and within that phone call i $1,152 lighter.
Other than one tiny dint in the stock, right up against the butt pad on the very bottom she is in mint condition. Hope you like. A little bird told me you do Bennet!

Re: Red Label 50th Anniversary
Ya done good! Great looking shotgun my friend. Now you need a tweed stalking cap and Meerschaum pipe to complete the ensemble.... And don't put any of that left handed whacky terbaccy in the pipe! You might see leprechauns!
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
