    That gun is either a mossberg or a Remington. The Ithaca 37 ejects shells out the bottom of the gun instead of the side. Also repair kits. Please consider getting enough repair to construct repair kits. They make the gun more effective, and also keep it in working order. They scale with your repair skill.

      It's absolutely based on a Remington, push pin safety on the back of the trigger guard with the action release on the front of the trigger guard, only two pin holes on the receiver, barrel band right next to the pump with the magazine tube extending far past it, etc...

      Agreed, this is how I feel about it-dinner bell is better than the unmodded hunting shotgun, but 3 extra shells make a huge difference in being able to handle more enemies or tougher ones without being as vulnerable during the reload period

    In my mind, this is the shotgun that is missing from Fallout 4. Ideally, you'd have the Pipe Shotgun in the early game. Hard hitting compared to the other weapons available, but with only two shots before a slow reload. Then, the Hunting Shotgun would be your weapon for the mid-game: same damage as the Pipe Shotgun or a little more, but with a higher rate of fire, magazine capacity, and better accuracy, and maybe throw in a semi-auto receiver as a high level mod. Then, at high levels, you have a split: the Double-Barrel has very high damage but low capacity, and the Combat Shotgun has the same damage as the Hunting, but has higher capacity, faster reload, and very high fire rate, either semi or full auto.

    Honestly, I think it's the most reliable gun I've used in the game, in its base version this shotgun is surprisingly good at killing enemies at long range, even without slugs! And if you upgrade it so its spread is reduced along with getting the And stay back! And Shotgun surgeon, it becomes almost a sniper!

    I did a naked challenge run on lonesome road from level 1 and didn't carry anything with me at all. Just used what I got there. The first enemy I killed had a hunting shotgun so that's what I was stuck with. I was very surprised at how good it actually was at level 2 or 3. Even with gun skill around 25 it still is strong just as long as you aren't too far away. It's definitely my favorite shotgun

    regular 12 gauge ammo does 1.2x damage. apparently this was done in an later patch so slugs were not simply better than regular ammo, however that made a lot of other ammo useless like flechettes which do 30% less damage than regular ammo for a measly 6 DT reduction

    I love shotguns, and am always frustrated by the fact that Bethesda proper cannot seem to code weapons that reload one round at a time, but somehow the studios that made NV and 76 managed to do it in the same engine. Curious.
    Anyway, this thing is a monster and Dinner Bell is worth doing Bleed Me Dry for regardless of whether or not you’re after Red Lucy. Stay Back and Surgeon ensure that while the Riot Shotgun is better, the Hunting Shotgun can still carry you to the endgame.

    On how few pumps there are in Fallout: I want to see a bolt action shotgun in a Fallout game. Those things are VERY 1950s (They were almost as cheap as a single shot, and popular till at least the 70s and falling off once manufacturer changes made pumps cheaper. Can’t tell exact switchover because it’s hard to track utility stuff like that past 1968.). On the game side it allows devs to reuse animations from every bolt action rifle, is better than single/double and worse than pump/FA options, and has a quirk that gives it one advantage over a pump (many are box mag fed rather than tube).

    Really suprised how good the hunting shotgun is, made me want to do a shotgun run. I think you were too kind on the dinnerbell, I was really frustrated by it- like you said sometimes 5 shots isn't enough. I find that to be true very often- a lot of enemys are in small groups and i found i could finish off 3 sometimes 4 (of course 1 shot 1 kill with meak enemies e.g powder gangers) with little difficulty, not sustaining too much damage- but with the dinner bell and faffing about with reloading while potentially 2 enemies are still standing and firing/clawing/biting/burning/mind blasting etc at you, no thanks. Installed a mod that hopefully let's me mod the dinnerbell to make it the legend it should've been on par with ratslayer or christine's COS rifle. I would rank it less than even the standard because of the added insult of a unique weapon being worse than the modded plus being a royal pain in the arse to get.

      Shotgun-enhancing perks (you already know about these, but other readers might not):
      * And Stay Back (+10% chance [per projectile!] to ragdoll target to the ground)
      * Shotgun Surgeon (-10 to target DT)
      Weapon-enhancing perks:
      * Hand Loader (ability to craft custom ammo, doubles recovery rate of hulls)
      * Quick Draw (halves time to holster, unholster, or swap weapons; useful with the exploit that lets you skip the shell-at-a-time reload by switching to another weapon and then switching back)
      * Rapid Reload (reduce reload time by 25%)
      * Jury Rigging (game becomes much more forgiving about how similar an item has to be in order to repair another item)
      Note that Pyromaniac does not affect dragon's breath shells, but probably should have.
      Weapon-agnostic perks:
      * Better Criticals (+50% crit damage)
      * Black Widow/Lady Killer (+10% damage against members of opposite sex, turns you into a horndog)
      * Bloody Mess (+5% damage against everything plus lots of gore/dismemberment)
      * Cherchez La Femme/Confirmed Bachelor (+10% damage against members of same sex, turns you gay)
      * Entomologist (+50% damage against insects)
      * Fight the Power! (+5% crit chance against NPCs in NCR, Legion, or Brotherhood armor, and +2 DT against their attacks)
      * Finesse (+5% to crit chance)
      * Hunter (+75% to crit damage agains animals, mutated or not)
      * Living Anatomy (+5% damage against humans and non-feral ghouls, shows health and armor of all enemies)
      * Sneering Imperialist (+15% damage and +25% VATS hit-chance against raiders, junkies, and tribals, plus two new dialog options with specific tribals [unfortunately, this perk doesn't consider Ulysses to be a tribal and I felt cheated, but got even by launching half a dozen mini-nukes at him before he could even start his final monologue])
      VATS perks (I personally never use these, as I prefer to craft all my Jet into Turbo and only use VATS for enemy identification):
      * Action Boy/Action Girl
      * Center of Mass
      * Commando
      * Concentrated Fire
      * Hobbler (useless with a shotgun since ragdolling a deathclaw to the ground with And Stay Back is much more effective than trying to slow it down by crippling its legs, and doesn't even need any action points)
      * Math Wrath
      * Sniper
      Weapon-agnostic challenge perks:
      * Abominable (+3% damage against abominations after killing 50, +6% after killing 50 more [100 total], +10% after killing 50 more [150 total])
      * Animal Control (like Abominable, but for mutated animals)
      * Bug Stomper (like Abominable, but for insects and scorpions)
      * Lord Death (+1% damage against everything after 200 kills, +2% damage after 500 more [700 total], +4% damage after 300 more [1,000 total])
      * Machine Head (like Abominable, but for robots, turrets, and Think Tanks, and rank 3 is unobtainable due to bugs; note that you can get this one by killing Yes Man repeatedly)
      Note that all of the following perks that affect "chems" are all bugged (in a good way) and affect all consumable items that have a duration of effect, including chems, skill/crit chance magazines, and Stealth Boys.
      Augment-enhancing perks:
      * Chem Resistant (-50% to addiction chance)
      * Chemist (double duration of "chems")
      * Comprehension (increase effect of skill books from 3 to 4 and double effect of skill/crit chance magazines)
      * Old World Gourmet (+25% addiction resistance, plus buffs to certain healing items)
      * Retention (triple duration of skill/crit chance magazines)
      * Voracious Reader (craft damaged books into skill/crit chance magazines; note that 90-95% of such books are looted from buildings instead of bought from merchants, so you can take this one before rebuilding your character in Old World Blues without it and get most of the benefit for free, useful since the base game has about 3 crit chance magazines and the DLC adds about 2 more, and this lets you craft well over 100 without even putting in much effort)
      Augment-enhancing challenge perks:
      * Day Tripper (+33% duration of "chems" after taking 25 addictive chems [beer is cheap and low-risk])
      Selected augment-enhancing traits:
      * Built to Destroy (+3% crit chance at the cost of +15% weapon wear, downside can be offset by some companion perks)
      * Logan's Loophole (double duration of all "chems" and eliminate possibility of addiction at the cost of keeping level cap at 30 instead of 50)

    The FNV hunting shotgun is responsible for making me fall in love with shotguns overall, particularly with dropped stocks and extended tubes. I still appreciate the realistic capacity of both the standard and extended tube too.
    P.S. I highly recommend some of the Ithaca and Mossberg mods out there, the Ithaca especially. Makes for a ton of fun if you get lucky RNG and get them earlier in the game!
