Mine’s a 20 gauge and seldom get used anymore but it has been ultra reliable for donkey years.
Over 100 years old.

Ps. I like the takedown feature on M12s.

AyA XXV for me. I was gifted this by a friends father as my mate and his son sail rather than shoot. I love it. Light enough for the walked up shooting I do and
handy in a pigeon hide. I use it for clays, pigeons and the odd walked up day. It’s over 50 yrs old and closes like a safe and throws empties three yards away like a new gun.

I’ve owned more than I care to admit, but one id love to own is a Watson Bros double 4 Bore. Had the pleasure of holding the first one made and it’s been on the dream list since! Basically a perfectly upscaled side by side with tubes that touch the sky!

pecially designed four bore sidelock ejector this is the only correctly proportioned four bore being manufactured in England. Made in our Towerbridge workshop and designed by Michael Louca

I like the sound of that, but silly question, how can a number 2 be built on a 53 action, when they are totally different? Would it not be a 20 bore 53? Can you post I picture?
Sounds nice, side clips too?

For me, there is nothing like the feel and clickety clack sound of running cartridges through a slick pump action to let me know I'm into some exciting shooting. I have some 20, 16, and 12 gauge, older Remington Wingmaster and Ithaca M37 shotguns. Earliest Wingmaster, a 1951 production was my dad's, and a 12 gauge Ithaca was made in my birth year, 1947. Foolishly got rid of one old Wingmaster in order to buy a newer one with a 3 inch chamber, after falling for the story that the old 2 3/4 shells using steel shot would not kill geese or even large ducks. The Ithaca 16 gauge is a fast shooting, nice light carry, with plenty of punch for upland ... find them just too difficult to resist, so have a trio at the moment.
Definitely have thought about a nice hammer gun as well for upland, but there has been an opinion expressed in this household that it is time for me to stop buying, and start downsizing.

I really like the M37's . I had a Deer Slayer many years ago when I used to guide . Unfortunately I had to sell it off when the economy collapsed in 82 . I haven't seen one since . I do still have my old 2 3/4 " 870 Wingmaster , that one goes in the ground with me , an absolutely reliable old thing .
My wife made the same suggestion as yours did ............ we laughed and we laughed ........... well I did anyway . She swore at me and hurt my feelings .. so I went and bought a rifle to make myself better . It worked .

Not to get too technical , but I find the 37's a bit more pointy than the BPS . That being said , the Browning is far more comfortable to shoot extended sessions or heavy loads through . The Ithacas are great to carry , but will pound you a lot more with heavy loads . There are no free lunches .
