THERE'S the meat and potatoes, right on there Gunplumber, the venerable classic Ithaca 37. I have a nearly mint one I got off GB for a paltry 250.00 (a 1960 model) that my wife walked out back one day while Dave and I were busting clays. She'd never even shouldered a shotgun ONCE in her life, but wanted to try. We let three clays go one at a time, she dusted all three. We were real excited and wanted her to continue, she just shrugged and said "nah, I just wanted to see if I could do it. Seems awful easy, I don't know why you guys even bother" and walked back inside.....
