One of my favorite and least appreciated shotguns on the market today is the Ithaca Model37 Pump, featured in December 2002 Issue of "American Hunter".

As a left-hander, I appreciate the bottom load and eject design, and I'm glad to see it's unique place in the market re-evaluated once again. The original "Deerslayer" slug gun has been up-dated with rifled barrel, magnum shell length, and permanent mounted barrel for greater accuracy.

I have my grandpa's old 37 smooth bore. I use it for clay. But grandpa did get deer with it every year.

Now my kids us it! It don't get better than that.

I need a mag spring for this any suggestions?

Great shot gun! I did read the artical.

Way cool!

First time I heard of a fixed barrel slug gun! Super cool development. Are there any other guns with this technology?

Rich,

Try the original source...Ithaca Gun http://www.ithacagun.com/
There are Hastings Rifled Barrels also: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...000&catalogCode=OD&parentId=&parentType=&rid=

I would suggest you keep the smoothbore and try different foster rifled slugs for better accuracy. Two things to watch out for...........Leading in the barrel after just a few shots. It will effect accuracy. Keep the barrel mount screw tight so the barrel won't move! Should get good 3" groups at 50-75yds.

savageT.....Love those Ithaca Deerslayers
