My dads got an Ithica 12G that he dosnt shoot anymore and he said Its mine if I want it. I'm not sure what model, the only thing I know is its a "light" model. Can anybody give me any insight on any Ithica "light" models and how they shoot? Thanks a mill

I just remembered somthing about the gun, on the left side of the chamber there was a scene of flying ducks lined with gold. Dont know if this will help but its worth a shot

GCKid,

It's probably an older Model 37, Featherlight deerslayer.

Excellent slug-gun for deer. Absolutely excellent, and the probably the lightest gun you'll find to this day on the market.

Sounds like a winner. My dad gave me his this yr , if its an older model the barrel is smoothbore , like mine , if newer should have a rifled barrel if its a deerslayer. Great gun from what I can tell , I use my H&R for deer , but take this occasionaly for small game. Very light for a 12ga , hence featherlight. Everyone I've spoken to about it says its a quality made firearm. Brand new one will run ya around 700 -800

Slugs are a beast out of this gun given the light weight ...my dad tryed the jacked up winchesters and his thumbnail cut his nose from thr recoil

If its a pump, its a model 37 and a keeper. IMHO, its the finest pump gun made.
