The Ithaca Model 37 28 gauge made for the first time by the Upper Sandusky folks, is a fine dove gun. At and even 6 lbs. with a 28" barrel it's not too light to swing and with interchangeable Briley chokes, is adaptable to field conditions. It shoots a lot better than its owner. I've had old M12s, but none of the Japanese made, but they feel fine in the hand. I can see this moth circling the flame of the 28. Gil
