Ithaca Model 37

First shotgun I ever shot was my Dad's 37 in 16 ga. It had a 28" barrel choked mod., He used for all of his bird hunting and trap. He bought it before the war and switched to a Beretta O/U in 1970. The old 37 made a couple of trips back to the factory over the years but had lots of rounds through it.

I have two 37s one is a 37R 28" Full choke barrel from 52 and the other is a 16ga. from 57 with a 28" mod. barrel. Do shoot both and even made a SW Louisiana duck hunt, the 12 got fed bismuth only. The performed well and the bottom eject is great for blind hunting.

skeet,

I got to agree with you. I acquired a 12 gauge, 16 gauge and 20 gauge Model 37 and gave them all away to new hunters who needed a shotgun to go hunt with. I never felt comfortable with a gun that fed and ejected out of the bottom. All my beneficiaries of M37s had successful hunting seasons and all is well.
