The M37 has gained the reputation of being an easy gun to handle and point, and its reliable bottom-eject action has long made it a favorite of both right and left handed shooters. At the new Ithaca Gun Company, we have brought a previously unknown level of precision and strength to the venerable Ithaca pump gun.
The new Ithaca upland gun comes in both Featherlight (steel receiver) and Ultralight (aluminum receiver) configurations. The Ultralight is about a pound lighter than the Featherlight, which makes it a joy to carry on longer hunts. The gun is available in 12 gauge, with a 20 gauge coming in 2008.
The new Model 37 Featherlight and Ultralight feature
•A receiver that is machined from a single block of steel (or aluminum)
•Solderless Barrel System (patent pending): strongest, truest barrel of any shotgun
•A lengthened forcing cone to reduce recoil and shot deformation
•Crisp 4.5-6lb. trigger pull
•The classic game scene engraving
•Choke threads that are machined true and straight (Briley Chokes)
•Fancy black walnut stock and forend
The new Ithaca upland shotgun sets itself apart from the pack in this crucial way: It has absolutely no soldering or other heat-induced joints. Our Ithaca SBS (Solderless Barrel System) vent rib barrel (patent pending) is the straightest, strongest barrel you can get because it is entirely a machined component--that means the barrel has never warped from heat and it does not require any corrective straightening. The attachment of the vent rib to the barrel is accomplished with a single screw, allowing easy replacement. This approach to barrel making also allows us to use a better grade of steel than what is commonly found on shotguns.
