Good afternoon,
I stopped at a gun shop this afternoon and upon their rack, was a newer made Ithaca 37 16 gauge. The gun has a 28” barrel with choke tubes and I would guess it’s in 98% condition or better. The price is $600. I had to hold it and I will say it fits me very nicely and I really liked it. I have never owned an Ithaca 37 as I was always a model 12 guy, but I really liked it. I can’t seem to get it off my mind, but I’m curious what anyone’s experience with the new guns are? Pro’s? Con’s? |

| Owned one of the new 37s for exactly fifty shots at clays. Shot it well and function was fine. It’s a very heavy gun, so I sold it. |

| I owned an Ithaca 37 in 12 ga a number of years back, it was ‘OK’ but I traded after a season. I think the older model 37’s were vastly superior. |

| I have a 12 gauge Ohio gun. Excellent gun but a bit heavy. Not a problem as it's a waterfowl gun. (Mostly geese) I use prewar 16's 98% of the time. In my humble opinion you'll be pleased with it. I believe they only made one run of 250 in 16 so you would have a bit of a rarity. |
