Good evening fellow hivers!
It's been a damn long time since my last post. To say life is anything but hectic is an understatement to say the least. I'm happy to find some time to reconnect to a great community! Also it's a good time to show off my new toy/tool.
An Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight pump action 12 gauge. This model is from 1972, it hold 4 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber! (only allowed 2 in the mag and 1 in the chamber in Canada while hunting). This gun is ambidextrous! It loads from the bottom and ejects from the bottom. So no shells hitting you in the face if you're a left handed shooter. The gun comes with a full choke barrel but it is removable and different barrels are available. I mainly bought this gun to have the ability to hunt Geese, Ducks, Turkeys and grouse on the wing.
As for recoil it hits hard. The wood stock with the little piece of hard plastic does not make it pleasant after multiple rounds. I will be adding a recoil pad to the back. Do any of you guys still hunt with or use older model shot guns?
