Ithaca Deerslayer III
I just ordered this gun on Thursday and received it next day. Got it was supposed to be bored sighted. not done well. but after I sighted it in amazing. this gun is everything they say it is and more. I sighted it in and was grouping great. Took it out on Sunday saw a monster could not get it to come in close like I wanted it to. swallowed the blind faith and took the shot at around 150 yards. the rest is history.
I am a Ithaca guy. Always have been. I have several from 12’guages to 16 to 20’s. I was skeptical about this one at first. Broke in and got it. I have to say I am happy I did. Great quality great service. And it isn’t the old model 37 we grew up to love. it is just as nice and improved that it makes you proud to be a gun owner.

Congrats on the shot and the buck.
I recently had the opportunity to tour the Ithaca factory here in Ohio. This operation is first class all the way. With one exception, every piece of steel on that gun, even the action latch, is machined on CNC equipment.
There will be some other good stuff coming from this bunch, just watch for it.
