any one have any suggestions on slugs for an ithica model 37 with a smooth bore barrel. i got the gun last winter and didnt really give it much of a thought till now. i was shooting the remington sluggers out of my mossberg but i gave it to my father-inlaw for christmas last year.

Been down that road your limited to around 50 yds tops with a smooth bore. Good luck trying to find a rifled barrel for it.

i had a riffled barrel for my mossberg but as i said i gave it to my father inlaw, he really was excited to get it. i think that hastings makes a riffled slug barrel but i havent had a chance look for one yet.

frank i just picked up a box of the federal truballs. i did some homework online and it seemed that they were the best thing out there for a smoothbore.
beardbuster all the rifled barrels i have found are for serial # 855000 and up mine is in the 717000s so i emailed ithica to see if they can point me in the right direction.

Yeah I have their deerslayer barrel and its a smoothie and was told to put a rifled choke on it so thats what it has today aint going out past 50ish yds heck my muzzleloader will do that. Dont think I thica was making rifled barrels back in the day when I bought mine that was in 87.
