Remington 870 vs Ithaca 37

[MontanaTDB]

I have a 20 gauge 870 on a small frame. How do these compare to an Ithaca 37?

Both are work horses as far as my experience goes. The 37 has the appeal to easily be used by a southpaw due to the bottom ejection. In past, I found the 37’s to be lighter in weight.

Both are great pump shotguns (as long as the 870 is an old Wingmaster, not an Express). My go-to gun for chukar hunting (lots of walking and not much shooting) is my Ithaca 37 Ultra Featherlight 20 ga. Unlike the standard Featherlight which has a steel receiver, the Ultra Featherlight, which was only made for a few years, has an aluminum alloy receiver. With a 25" vent rib barrel (fitted with Briley thin wall choke tubes) and a straight-grip English style stock, mine weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces. I call it my BB gun. (And yes, I am a southpaw.)
