The Red Label configuration here is purposeful and classic: 26 inch blued steel barrels over a brushed stainless/silver receiver, chambered for 3 inch shells with a 2-round capacity. It uses a ventilated rib with a brass front bead for a clear, consistent sight picture. The chambers are marked accordingly and match the provided 3 inch specification.
The receiver carries factory scroll engraving with gold gamebird inlays on the sides and a gold Ruger phoenix on the underside. This factory work provides distinctive visual detail without sacrificing the model’s clean lines and practical function.
Controls are straightforward and intuitive, with a tang-mounted sliding safety and a right-opening top lever. A single black-finished trigger handles firing duties. The barrels are threaded for chokes with flush-fit tubes installed, and this example is set up with cylinder chokes.
The walnut furniture includes a checkered pistol-grip stock and a long beavertail forend for a confident hold. A textured metal buttplate with a Ruger medallion and black spacer finishes the stock, complemented by an additional Ruger medallion in the stock underside. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
