ORIGINAL: Ruger-Redhawk
I just found a Note on that page.
Previously issued as the Model 37,the model 87 guns listed below were made available through the Ithaca Acquisition Corp.. From 1986-95.Production of the Model 37 resumed under the original logo in 1996.
I hope that clears your question up.
Ruger Redhawk
Slugman if you read this it says that the Model 87 was made from 1986 to 1995 and were called the model 37 again starting in 1996.Like you said either way a great shotgun.
