I finally got one! The wife promised to pay for a Ruger Gold Label SXS if I could find one. Scored yesterday. It has been a hectic 2 months with buying a new home, moving, preping the old home and selling it. One more load of things from the old house and I am done (well at least done getting it here). The shotgun is a nice reward for all of the work. Pics.....Of course! I don't want Darth Vadar after me.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
This is the new Ruger Side x Side, called the Gold Label. They have a Red Label too that is an over and under. Swifty, I also have been known to partake of the liquid version of the red label, Compadre.
I can't wait to shoot it. Taking it to the skeet range at the local base this next week. Range report to follow!

Nice lookin shotty. I've always had a thing for side-by's, just something cool about em. The mix of stainless and blued metal looks good too.
Just out of curiosity, why did you go with the straight stock instead of a pistol grip?
Also just to make sure I haven't had too much No.7 black label this weekend, that double only has one trigger, correct?
Yep, single selective trigger. I went with the straight stock as I have several 16 ga sXs that have the straight stock and I use them quite well. Thought I shouldn't change something that works.
Now my Red Label O/U has a pistol grip and that also works fine for me. I love to bird hunt and this fills a niche for me for hungarian partridge/chukar hunting. Light, doesn't get much shooting (more walking than shooting) and still has the 12 ga punch.
Wind is howling right now and cold so I didn't get to go shoot it today. Wednesday is my next opportunity. I can't wait!
