RE: Ithica?
They are great guns in my opinion. I am using one that I purchased over 20 years ago and I fitted it this year with a Hastings Cantalever Barrel and scope. I was fortuninate enough to take a buck with it yesterday! It has always performed flawlessly for me. I also took a nice 20 lb Gobbler this spring with it using its 28" Barrel.
They are light and make sure you have a good hold of it when you shoot it! They kick pretty good, especially when using slugs.
