Charlie, I still have the Ithaca 10 (32" f.c.) but don't use it that much any more. When steel came along I decided I didn't need to lug around an 11# gun for 'only' 1-5/8 of steel so I bought a San Marco 10 ga o/u. A pretty basic gun, 28", dt, ae. but 3.5" chambers. From a distance it looks like a Superposed 12 ga. and only weighs about 8.5#. This became my go-to duck gun until I gave up on steel and went to bismuth and tungsten polymer in the 12 ga.
Now the San Marco gets used mostly with 1-1/8#8 on clay birds, a lot of fun.
C.G.B.
