If the new model 37's are even close to the old ones, you have a outstanding shotgun. I have a 37 in 16 ga. it's the best upland bird gun ever made. Built on a true 16 ga. action, not like the Remington 870 where they put a 16 ga barrel on a 12ga action.

If you ever get a chance to use a 37 in any gauge, it's a surprising gun, light weight fast swinging and bottom eject. Shell go in the bottom and come out the same way, slick.

All I can say is find both old and new and compare the two. I like the older ones as have all machined parts, the newer ones have some investment cast parts(just as strong). The newer guns will take interchangeable barrels so you can have a short deer barrel or a standard bird gun a hand.

Yes I like the Model 37 in any flavor.
