Don't know of Ithaca ever making anything larger than 10-bores. But they seriously pushed 10-bores in the 1920s and 30s, which A.H. Fox never did, and by that time L.C. Smith had quit 10-bores.

Don't know about the 8 gauge Ithaca's but I have an Ithaca 10 gauge 2 7/8" with fluid steel barrels .

The barrels were re rust blued maybe 35 years ago as well as the wood being refinished .

My father bought the gun maybe 36 years ago . And we've never fired it . May have to shoot a round of trap with it in the semi near future .

I will say this though .

That Ithaca has nowhere near as nice a feel as my W&C Scott 10 gauge !
