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

That is correct barrelslime...

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

Welcome to the Ithaca Owners Forum OCshot !!
Which Ithaca firearms do you own and enjoy...?! |
|
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? |

Post a picture of that Featherlight Model 37 in 16gauge when you find the time...

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

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. --Jim

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 thought I would revisit this one, while I'm hoping this comes to fruition. I think I'm going to look in another direction.
|
I already did, bought an A-10 from Galazan. --Jim

I'm leaning towards a Browning haven't decided yet. |
The 725's are very nice. Mechanical trigger. --Jim
