Okay, got my MTs sold, so I've got about $600 to fritter away. I want a new shotgun. My first SG was a Moss 590, lo many moons ago. Competent, but not real exciting. Advantage: (I'm looking at the 590A1s) relatively cheap and durable. ($350-450)
I've owned a couple of 870s. Much smoother, nice, but never really fired me up.(From $325-550, depending on options)
Winchester 1300/FN police- Had a 1300. Really my all-time favorite; slick action, no hiccups, nice configuration. Con: FN and parts. As stated in other places, some have had more breakage with the 1300s, and while I love my BHP, I'm not the biggest fan of FN, and they seem a bit unclear as to their course, with the line, so....(around $300, here or through CDNN)
Benelli M3- Damn. :buttkick: I wish I'd never sold it! No way, with the funds available.
Now: the Ithica mod 37 LE. Now available, factory direct, for $560. 8 shot, comes with the PSI made rear ghostring, and TruGlo front. Parkerized, all steel. Takes a Teflon over park finish like ducks take to water. Bottom eject.
I think its obvious what I want. :biggrin2: Anyone have any cons? My main hang up is the $$- I hoped to pickup some more Seecamp and BHP mags and some ammo, if I bought in the $400-450 range. The 37LE has the GRs I like already, and dosen't tempt me to go balls-to-the-wall mall-ninja with it, though.
I can still get my mags and ammo, it will just be over the next 3 months, vs 3 days. Thoughts....?
