Scratch it, fall on it, drop it in the salt water. It keeps on going.

I remember shooting a 24 from the 16 yard line the first time I shot my second one. The four other guys with the BT99's just stood there and gawked. "You did that well with that piece of junk?", one guy said.

My reply to him was, "It's a tool for killing birds. It works. It is the shooter that matters, not the gun. Know you tools."

Pretty guns are for posers. wink Of course, if Santa brought me one of those stainless Red Labels I might just have to try to put a scratch in it.
You can keep those mossbergs... Never in my life will I own one! I am a girl, I'm suppose to like pretty thangs, right?? But I have to say, I wouldn't own another Rugar Red Label. They are not nice enough for the price tag. Might look good from a distance, but not well put together, balanced.. Try breaking/closing the action on one of those vs. a Beretta. There is no comparion. The Red Label is sloppy. (IMHO, of course).

At a banquet I worked on with a conservation group a couple years ago, a friend of mine won a red label. He loves his $20 gun! laugh

The Gold label is suppose to be good, but I haven't talked to anyone yet that has actually touched one.
