Well, the Ithaca 37 was first a Remington.. does that count?? You can't beat the bottom ejection and the forked loading gate that lets you push an errant shell back into the magazine when necessary. I had a gorgeous mod 12 with vent rib not too many years back and was hunting ducks and was shoving shells into the magazine as ducks were close and my glove thumb got hopelessly stuck in the loading gate causing lost shots... that was it. I sold it. I did like my $45 mint condition 20ga mod 12 as a kid though. Nice gun. Great for upland. Didn't feel so heavy as a 12ga mod 12. As for Remington 870's.... make lamps outa all of them...
