Owners of the Red Label III with the 30-inch barrel tend to be clay shooters first. The extra barrel length gets consistent praise for the way it swings through on crossing targets, and the 20 Gauge chambering appeals to those who prefer reduced recoil over longer shooting sessions.

The walnut and blued combination draws divided opinion on aesthetics. Some owners love the traditional look; others feel the wood-to-metal fit on their particular example could be tighter for the price. The 5 included chokes are seen as a practical bonus that eliminates an immediate add-on purchase.

The Red Label name went away for a period and came back, and owners who remembered the original generation have noted the III is a different gun in several respects. Most find the overall quality acceptable for the price, though trigger feel comes up as an area where opinions vary.
