I have to admit that I was surprised by their choice of a Ruger side-by-side as the Shotgun of the Year. An investment cast shotgun for $2,000 just strikes me as odd, but apparently it is a shooter and impressed the NRA.

I have to admit to some fondness for side-by-sides, but Ruger just wasn't a name that would have occurred to me as a company to go to for one.

The author, Mr. Keefe, did put the obligatory reference to Mr. Kerry's famous double-barrel anecdote into the article.

The price sounds a little high to me too, and I have never seen one, however the Red Label was a sweet OU. I had a 20 gauge and loved it.

From what I have heard and read, investment casting as done by Ruger really is high quality steel even if it does sound cheap.
