I found new production 12ga 3" Ithaca 37 Turkey Slayer full camo with barrel length of about 25". I can use this gun for both Turkey Hunting and Wildfowling. The receiver is tapped for optic mounting so with change of choke tube to cyl, 1/4 or rifled tube I would like to use the gun for close range <100m big game hunting. This being Turkey gun is the barrel overbored? If so that would be good for heavy charges of turkey or goose loads but not so good for slug shooting. Does anyone know? If it is overbore are slugs likely to produce acceptable groups. The gun has enough weight to handle magnum loads and recoil pad with Ithaca logo is of very good quality (most likely Limbsaver or Kickeeze manufacture) Thank you for all feedback good and bad.

You know this is a double gun forum, right?

Ask the maker. They are very friendly to deal with. If you buy it consider a slug barrel as an extra purchase. I ordered two 28's for my sons Christmas presents. I only wish I had been a good boy this year.

Thanks. It's nice to realize that last classic American pump is still made in Ohio USA. I had Ohio-made 20ga blued gun with 28" VR barrel. That gun was heavy at about 7lbs, but this one is about 7.5lb which is not too heavy for 12ga 3" gun. It is a blessing that recoil pad is of very good quality. It is Pachmayr according to Ithaca Gun site.

You know this is a double gun forum, right? He knows it, but he doesn't even own a double gun. He would post this in Misfires, but nobody there except for Ed Good answers his non-double questions anymore since he told us he proudly voted for Barack Hussein Obama twice.

The Upper Sandusky M37 turkey guns in both 20 and 12 have fixed, permanent barrels.
