Looks like I will not need to buy a shotgun, someone I mow for was going through his gun cabinet and doesn't have room for 1 shotgun so he is giving me a choice of one. One is an Ithaca semi-auto and the other is a Winchester pump, both are 12 gauge. Thank you for all the help with my decisions. I am leaning towards the pump but it has a fixed choke. What is the tightest choke that is safe to put a slug through? Sorry if miscategorized

I know Treestand said I could put a rifled slug through a full choke, would that be a bad thing? I don't know the choke I will ask him tomorrow. I do like a pump because I know after the shot there is no way it could go off if I don't chamber the next shell.

Well from a semi-collector stand point, the model 12 is great gun, depending on what your intended use is. The older model 12s were 2 3/4 only, more of a look at gun than a real waterfowl gun by todays standards. As far as the ithaca the only experience I have is with a model 37, basically a copy of the Remington model 17. Both very reliable and accurate.

Despite appearances it's a cold day. Strong winds and temps in the 20s. Skin is off, now it's just a lot of work cutting it up....-
