For those stakeouts…
I ran across one of these at SHOT Show in January and it was under wraps at the time as it was still in the prototype stage but I thought it was kinda cool.
One of the newest companies to join the “not a shotgun” pistol grip firearm market, Ithaca now has their new model available in a choice of finishes and bore.
The bottom is what I think is billed as their “Patriotic” finish. I’d take the top although, with the lack of padded Shockwave grip, this bad boy is gonna smart to shoot on 3-inch 00 shells…
Offered in either 12 or 20 gauge, Ithaca says their new Stakeout II series is a Model 37 style action that pays tribute to the “classic trench guns of the past century,” but I think they should have gone with the whole stakeout gun angle as it was obvious.
At just 26.75-inches long overall, the new Ithaca features a 14-inch chrome moly barrel in a set-up pioneered by the popular Mossberg Shockwave and Remington TAC-14 in recent years.
Bad news? They want $750-$850 for it, which is about twice what the Mossy and Remmy cost, so there is that…
Anyways, more in my column at Guns.com
