Interesting follow-on to this thread after my post of several days ago. Was "working" as a picker-upper with my dog yesterday at a local pheasant tower shoot. A man walked by with a high condition "A5. I complemented him on the gun and said "It's not a Browning, it's an Ithica 745". Never head of such a beast before
Me neither- and he doesn't even know that his hybrid shotgun is an IthAca, NOT an IthIca, by the way- I stopped the tower shoots unless it is a private members only shoot and I know the guys-waaay too many dudes with closed actions going out to the stands, or moving between after the tower lads blow the horn-- and when you ask them to please leave the action open on their shotgun, they act offended. Murphy's Law just awaiting an riposte!!
