Where do I start! The model 17 has pretty much made me sell everything else in my gun cabinet to include my 1933 Fox 20g! Sounds a little over the top but I really like these guns allot and have bought three in the last year.

They are one of the few small gauge guns made specifically for a gauge, the model 42 comes to mind as well. Compare it to an Ithaca 20g and the difference will be obvious. Ithaca's design is taller and not as trim as the 17. Similar yes, the same no.

The price you got seems pretty good and you can pay a whole lot more. The solid rib guns are much more pricey.
