Has anyone seen any of these or heard anything about them? Little exists on the Ithaca website. They have a few pictures showing different configurations and this is part of the description (my emphasis added): Before I get excited and call them it would be nice to hear from someone who tried one out. What I'm wondering is whether this is just hype or if we really have a USA factory willing to build a "bespoke" rifle. . | ||

I had no idea that someone had bought the Ithaca name and was producing firearms under that brand. No longer in Ithaca, NY, I see they now list their address as Sandusky, OH. Not that it is relevant, but the last Ithaca-branded centerfires were produced by Tikka and were essentially identical to rifles sold under Tikka's own name at the time. This was before Tikka was purchased by Beretta and merged with Sako. The Tikka's were (and are) very good rifles. Wonder if Ithaca bought some rights to the Tikka design for this new rifle, or if it is original to the new Ithaca company? | |||

It doesn't look like a Tikka to me. The bolt shroud is different, it has a floorplate release in the trigger guard, and the receiver looks like a round tube. . | |||

Thanks, jeffeosso. I was unaware of the Ohio move and the multiple sales of the company. I found this interesting little video. It was published on Jul 6, 2017 and describes the new company, the CNC tooling, and some new products: . | |||

I watched the entire video that Grenadier posted and did some reading about Ithaca in other sources. I can't find much info about their rifles but I am very impressed with their philosophy. Looks like they are hell bent on making a great product right here in America and I have a lot of respect for that. | |||

That 28 gage looks sweet. Looking forward to seeing their bolt gun. Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

Id be surprised if I will like it..Seems the gun companies are moving away from the time proven Mauser design..That I will never accept. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
