Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Best pump ever made ??

One of these:

Model 12
Ithaca 37
Rem 870

Mossturds suck nuts

Newest Model 12 in the house in 20 Ga. Not the real deal but a Browing repo. If I didn't know I would think it was an original. Had a feeding hiccup, but the brother of a friend who knows Model 12s fixed it. Should be a great Grouse gun.

Construction, 870.

Ergo's, M12.

For life preserving/house gun: modded 870 Wingmaster w/ 18" barrel and mag extension.

For a snappy field gun: Ithaca M37 Featherweight

For nostalgia: the too damn heavy Win M12 and Rem M31

Never used the Win 97 or Burgess so can't have a reliable opinion.

I have a 870 made in the 60's love that gun

37 ala Bottom Eject, Shizzle.

870 > M12, AKA dual action Bar.

M12, anything <, akin 2X4ishisk.

Subjective...

Battue had it right. Model 12 in 16 gauge. I have owned Remington 870's, Ithaca, and Browning. I would go with the Winchester, but any of them will work OK.

Ithaca model 37.

I'll echo a couple prior comments and vote for the one my granddad gave me...a 16 ga Model 12. It does swing and mount for me really well. Seems to shoot itself. And there's something poetic about a one ounce load in a 16 ga barrel.

Browning BPS's are pretty good guns for the money. Idk about best of all time.
