This specific designation refers to a variant of the Ruger Red Label over-and-under shotgun designed for robust performance in adverse conditions. It features a stainless steel construction, offering superior resistance to corrosion from exposure to moisture, humidity, and other environmental factors. This makes it a popular choice for hunting in harsh environments, particularly waterfowl hunting or upland game hunting in wet or coastal regions.
The corrosion-resistant properties translate to greater longevity and lower maintenance requirements compared to blued steel shotguns. The ability to withstand harsh conditions without significant deterioration ensures reliable operation and sustained performance over time, which is essential for firearms frequently subjected to the elements. Historically, stainless steel firearms have filled an important niche for hunters and sportsmen operating in environments where traditional finishes proved less durable.
