Depends on the model date of Red Label you have Pre-93 guns have a different choke system and thread pattern than the 93 and later.

Ruger has had two different styles of threads for the Red Label 12 ga guns. Older ones are a standard Winchoke/Browning Invector/Mossberg choke threading, newer chokes are threaded for Briley brand choke tubes.

If your gun is before 1993 then I would get extended tubes. The Browning Invector original type choke tubes are very short and don't pattern as well as todays longer choke tubes.

I assume you're talking about 12 gauge.

Ruger has multiple thread systems that are not interchangeable. These chokes fit newer 12g barrels with the Ruger style threads. Older Ruger models take Winchester Invector style chokes.

Why was the Ruger Red Label discontinued?

Final Production In January 2015, Ruger dropped the Red Label from its product line, citing an inability to achieve revenue expectations. As a consequence, Ruger no longer produces a shotgun in its model line. Accessories and choke tubes for the Ruger Red Label shotgun are still available from Ruger as of 2022.

What does 4 notches on a choke mean?

A higher notch count means less constriction. 1 notch = Full. 2 notches = Improved modified. 3 notches = Modified. 4 notches = Improved cylinder.

What choke do you use for TSS?

From testing and talking to the experts, the best general use TSS choke is going to be between . 660 to . 665. Those constrictions will also perform with larger lead shot (No.
