Straight from the horses mouth today. They are redesigning some parts of the gun and Probly won't be in production until 2016 .

Ruger just discontinued the RL, so I guess the American-made O/U market is all for Ithaca now.

Hello there, and thank you. I have a Featherlight Model 37 in 16ga, bought in 2012. It was my first gun purchase, but my second one to possess (the order took a bit long, so I got a handgun while I waited.)
I was taken aback to see Ithaca now has a rifle! It might be the topic of another thread, but did I miss something? What does it mean for the Phoenix?

There are still Kolar and Connecticut Shotgun, but you will pay for the privilege of owning one.

Very true! Forgot about Connecticut, and somehow wasn't aware of Kolar, which I guess is of a single purpose, competition. Either way, both are way off my league. So to correct my previous comment, Ithaca now has a unique position in a particular American made O/U market segment, good news still. Thanks.

Kolar probably makes the best boxlocks in the world, but yes, they are strictly target guns. Their mechanical triggers are a work of art. CSMC makes a great gun, but they are, what I would call "boutique" guns, guns that are made in limited numbers. Nothing wrong with a gun like that, they are beautifully made but not for everyone.

Ithaca has a golden chance to to straddle both worlds, field and competition, I really hope they don't let the chance slip away.

Man I hope this O/U is at shot show this year! Sure would make a nice anniversary gift for the wife. Cuz you know I would have to keep the dust off it when she isn't using it.

Side Note: Ithaca if you are listening please make it extractor capable, Love reloading, Hate picking up hulls.

I hope so too, but sadly, I am not holding my breath.

I thought I would revisit this one, while I'm hoping this comes to fruition. I think I'm going to look in another direction.

The 725's are very nice. Mechanical trigger.
