Who is Using a 28 Gauge, This 2025-26 Hunting Season and Now 2026-27 Season

[28 gauge 2]

I have a 28 inch barrel on my 28 gauge M37 Ithaca. Including a vent rib.The more I handle it, the more I like this lively little gauge with this barrel length.

I have an Ithaca Model 37 28 gauge as well.Really nice guns.Mine has a 26 inch barrel.

Ive got several 28 gauges that I absolutely love. A few Browning O/U, a few Win Mod 12, a Rem 1100 and and Rem 870, a Win Mod 23, a Benelli Sporting and a little sweetheart Ithaca M37 recently acquired from a generous and understanding gentleman on CGN…who was sympathetic to my needs and addictions in 28g shotguns having beautiful wood.

All these 28g shotguns are a little bit different…in the way they mount, swing and bust clays and drop birds. The Ithaca 37 is in a league of its own. It can maneuver with the best of birds. I bought an assortment of Brilley extended chokes for it. Protects the thin muzzle, easy in and outs without a choke wrench and options for close in birds to way out there. Not to be underestimated, some of my 28g think they are 12g but in a ‘lively’ little package that is a joy carry.

Yes the Ithaca Model 37 28 gauge are nice guns.I have one,but have used it little of late years.

Mr Bill, you’re really making the regret set in with all this 28g Ithaca 37 talk haha

On a similar note gentlemen. Does anyone know of a Canadian source for the newer Ithaca vent rib, an intermediate bead?

Thank you

Took a couple pheasant with the 28 today. The reach with lead #5 was inspiring. I don’t see a need for anything else.
