In 1977 Ruger bucked the trend in a hunting market dominated by pump and semi-auto shotguns, introducing a new American-made over/under, the Red Label. The Red Label became a cult favorite among shotgunners until it faded from the Ruger line. Want to know about the now iconic over/under? Check out the video embedded above, featuring a clip from American Rifleman TV.
