37, 870, or 590A1

Ithacas are long out of production.

Then again, technically so are 870s.

Ithaca, and Remington, are still up and running making Model 37s and 870s respectively

The hades you say??

I have not seen a new Ithaca on store shelves in a coon’s age. I wonder how current quality is? I imagine they must not be making many of these shotguns as I haven’t heard of new Ithaca’s being made much less seeing them in a shop.

Id take the mossberg with a normal stock because I prefer their safety. The 870 with a pistol grip, because the Mossberg safety sucks for a pistol grip. The 37 is a fine hunting shotgun but would be a good ways down my list. Benelli, Browning, winchester (12) , maybe even HI standard flight kings would be before the 37 in my book.

Im a shotgun collector. But like others said, I wouldn't carry a shotgun on a stroll unless I'm hunting for fowl or rabbit or squirrel.

Last I heard (it's been a little while), high quality Model 37s were being made in Sandusky, Ohio and were fetching very high prices for an, albeit, very nice and expensive to manufacture pump shotgun.

I visited the Ithaca plant in 2014 in Sandusky, Ohio. Very high quality being produced there IMO.
