It is my understanding that Ruger is not shipping any of the side by side shotguns yet.

Does anyone have any insight as to when Ruger intends to start shipping them to wholesalers and retailers?

Thanks in advance.

The gun shop, where I work, has been waiting to see one too. The rep hasn't even seen one. It's been almost a year. Hard to tell when we'll see one and then the demand will be high.

does anyone remember when Ruger advertized a larger sized mini 14 in 308 ? They had so many problems with the prototype that they dropped the project.

Yeah, I hate it when a company announces a product and then can't produce a single one for years. Ruger is a noted for this. I hear Franchi is also coming out with a new SXS, but it doesn't even show up on their web site yet. Ruger has had their SXS in their catalogs and on their web site for over a year. Annoying isn't it?

In general having a lag time that long is poor marketing. The hype of the articles and "water-cooler" talk create a thirst then people get frustrated and end up quinching it with another product.

I have quinch it with a Beretta Ultralight. BTW, I was told Feb, then March and now I heard it was July. Got tired of waiting. For those who want to know how much those Gold Label are going for, it is $1420.00, which was the amount of my deposit until I bought the Beretta.
