I've been considering an Ithaca 37 in 20 gauge for awhile now. For upland hunting at my age, I want a gun that's on the lighter side.
The Ithaca 37 in 20 gauge weighs 6.8 lbs and the 12 gauge weighs 7.6 lbs ( Ithaca Model 37 Specs ). Which one are you considering ?
7.6 pounds is far from a LW upland shotgun and 6.8 pounds isn't much better...For LW and a 37 you should be looking at an older 16gauge aluminum receiver Featherlight which goes around 5 3/4 pounds.....The new Ohio Ithaca 28Gauge is the best of the bunch if you are willing to go 28gauge....

I agree Battue, the main reason I haven't proceeded with the 20 ga. While I have been looking around for an older Model 37 16 gauge, I haven't come across any in my area so far. I must admit the Model 37 in 28 gauge has my attention for the grouse/woodcock woods. What a lovely, light pump shotgun !
