I'm a long time fan of the RRL. Many swear at them, but I swear by them. I've had multiples of them, 12s and 20s for the last 20 years or so. I have a 12 ga 30" Sporting Clays with gazillions of rounds through it and a 28" 20 ga that's been to Argentina for mega-shooting a couple of times. Never a hiccup with either. I was really bummed when they stopped production a couple of years ago.
Yesterday I traded into one of the new ones and I'm pleased as punch, what ever that means. The action is smoother, the triggers are crisper, the wood is magnificent for a Ruger, and the balance has changed, perhaps just slightly, but for the better. Now I need to shoot it and see if all that makes any difference or if it's still me that's the limiting factor.

I'm with you on the RRL shotgun. Have other O/U's, Rem.3200 Comp., Merkel201E's (12 & 28gauge,)and couple Win.Mod.12 Trap guns, but find the Ruger to be a lot of shotgun for the money. Some at the local Trap/Skeet club do not care for the Ruger and say it has more recoil than they like.
I don't have a problem with the recoil of the gun and even though gun was made in the mid 90's it is trouble free. In the event a problem pops up, Ruger will take care of it for free as long as you own it. Believe it is the only O/U made in America today and that "ain't bad."

Is the automatic safety still something that Ruger must change if you don't want it ?

No, it's an easy fix if you can't get use to it. And I'm surprised that Ruger would do it, just from a liability standpoint.
