Ruger Announces the Return of an American Legend: The Ruger Red Label III

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. proudly announces the return of one of America’s most iconic over/under shotguns with the Ruger® Red Label™ III, renewing Ruger’s commitment to being a full-line manufacturer of firearms.

First launched in 1977, the original Ruger Red Label earned a reputation for rugged reliability, classic lines, and American-made quality. Decades later, the Red Label III continues that legacy while elevating it with premium materials and world-class fit and finish.

Built by the highly skilled craftsmen at one of the world’s premier makers of fine firearms, Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company (CSMC), the Red Label III marks a new era in Ruger shotgun excellence.

This 20-gauge shotgun is offered in both 28” and 30” barrel configurations and features a beautiful walnut stock with a classic checkering pattern and a hand-rubbed oil finish. The single trigger is inertia operated and resets on recoil. In addition, the automatic tang safety has an integral first shot barrel selector. Capable of shooting 2 3/4″ and 3″ shells, the barrels have a precise internal geometry that produces consistent patterns and superior shot performance.
