May I suggest relatively rare made in Japan for Browning 'Sweet Sixteen' auto with invector choke system? Classic American design but better because it's made in Japan sort of like Honda.
Less expensive and more versatile gun than that ole' Ithaca.
PS. I just bought real ole' 25" #1330xx Winchester mod. 12 20ga plus case of Fiocchi mild low velocity (1075f/s) loads and it ain't bad at all. The stock design makes mounting and pointing easy plus five cartridges can be stuffed into the tube.
