Either the Weatherby or Franchi would be the better choice. I probably can't relate why without being negative. Dad always said, "If you don't have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut!" I've nothing nice to say about the Red Label

go read this topic because there is talk about the red label in it. From what i read i dont think i would ever buy one. I am a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for."
I have heard that for the low price that it cost, the baikal IZH27 is a good over and under. My dad is thinking about getting one. There are two models of it, the sporting one (ported barrels) and the regular non ported barrel one. You can get more info on them at eaacorp.com

Tim;
Nope, not down on Ruger, just have nothing good to report about thier shotguns. I have a few, well quite a few of thier rifles and one handgun. Fine pieces. The shotguns don't come anywhere near them in thier comparison to competivly priced shotguns. Over the years I've looked and touchey/feely Rugers hoping I'd finally find one I could be happy with. Hasn't happened yet, and I know several folks who did get them only to be severly dissapointed in thier decision. Had to take a beating to get out from under them! Me, I like to learn from others mistakes and I do trust my instencts when it comes to machinery/firearms/etc. I know the difference between a fine piece and a wannabe!
Get the Franchi if you don't like the Weatherby. A good used Browning or Beretta or a Rizzini, or Pederson, I could go on and on! Most anything would be better than a Red Label, In my opinion!

I have never owned a Red Label.But I can tell you what I saw with my own eyes a couple of months ago at the skeet field on a sporting clays couse. A SUV pulls up with two men in it,so now we have plenty for a couple rounds.They bring out two new Rugers,one a 20ga and the other a 28ga.Both brand new never shot. The 28ga shot both barrels with a single trigger pull and the 20ga would not shoot at all.Yes they tried fooling around with the safety.No change.So they had to break out their Citori's to shoot with us.
