"sleek" is definitely the word for the 20. Lines like a gazelle; the 37 , like a hippo in contrast. Never seen one.

You canuck guys ever seen a Canadian Winchester 37? The Canadian company Cooey made them under license during the '60s. I have one which seems to have emigrated to the UK at some point since it has brummie proofs stamped on the barrel.
Photo-bucket isn't playing nice this afternoon or I'd post a pic...Geo
I don't pay attention to them but the old Cooey factory is about 5 miles from where I sit typing this. Every once in a while I'll run into someone who used to work there.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

Winchester/Cooey made the Model 370 and Model 37A single barrel shotguns in Canada.

840 badged Winchester, also. Might be be better if the factory is closed. Nothing really worth owning came from there.
Best,
Ted

The Winchester 24 is a SxS. The pictured Hippo in the above post is a Winchester Model 37. Single barrel, 1/2 a Hippo (and available in Collector Quality condition). Below, A 1922 Winchester Model 20 .410, 26" Full. Original condition, a very nicely preserved "survivor". I bought it this morning and some might say paid dearly. To me, priceless.

Bob, definitely the better choice. You can always sell it for less than you paid.  Gil

I have an "As New", appears unfired, 3 month old Grandson, my first. Ask him in 8-10 years if he thinks I might have paid too much.

I'd recommend a Savage model 220. No hammer. Single shots are cool...Geo Agree on the 220. And they're a lot cheaper than a Winchester.

Good evening Larry. I asked my 3 month old grandson if he would prefer "cheaper" or "Winchester". Imagine that, Baby's first word was "Winchester".
