I still have my 37 that I bought back in the 60s when I was in high school. It still looks and shoots like a new one. 20 gauge, solid rib, full choke- made in the 50s. I always said I would part with it long after my other ones are gone- which means NEVER. The best pump gun ever made with the 870 close behind in my opinion. If the new ones are as good as the old ones, they should be pretty good. Best wishes.
