I rec'd my 1st mod.37 (deluxe model with vent rib) at the age of13. Still have it at 66. 1st shotgun and it being a birthday gift I would never part with it. Hunted pheasants and rabbits and shot a lot of ATA trap. Be wary of the man with only one gun. Never had a problem with it. Loading on the line was easy. Great for me as a left hand shooter and I never had to worry about hitting someone with an empty hull. Seeing the faces of those guys with those fancy two barrel guns was priceless when they where beat by the kid with the pump. I shot 1000's upon 1000's of shells thru that gun without a hick up. Great wood, slick action,and easy to carry. The slam fire action was an added plus.
I have a Skeet 20 ga. that is just as good. I always thought they where an underrated gun. Nice used guns easily found used for $250- $300 when Mod.12's where twice the price (or more).
