My go to gun for years was my 1950s Ithaca Model 37, 20 gauge, solid rib gun. But after using it for so many years, I put it in the gun safe. Now I use a Model 21 12 gauge as my beater. I/C-C. I have been wanting to take out my 20 gauge Superposed or my Ithaca again, so one day I might. Pheasant season is just around the corner here.
