Like oneounceload, something about the proportions bother me. Then I realized… some guns have deep/short actions, some have shallow/long actions; but this Ithaca seems to have a deep/long action. It's easy to believe that the basic design is 80+ years old. The Ithaca O/U looks like a brick, I wonder if it handles like one, too.
What caught my interest was the mention of a new Ithaca M-37 in 28-ga. And, unlike the recently discussed new Benelli in 28-ga, the Ithaca comes with a 26 or 28-inch barrel. Those wanting an American made 28-ga closed side pump should be pleased with the new M-37.
