I still have my Ithaca Model 72 in .22lr. It was purchased at the Ithacagun employee store since my wife at the time worked at the service department there.

It is, of course, an Erma EG-71 branded for Ithaca at the German factory. Iver Johnson also had them branded later on, more toward the end of Erma's solvency/existence. Since the Henry Repeating Arms Co. bought the design (and probably the tooling) the first H001 rifles are also the same, although some parts were replaced with plastic ones. Henry went on to re-design the action's carrier to make it also function with .22 short and .22 long.

So, just search up a pic of the Henry H001 and imagine it with a 4-power Weaver scope. I call it the "Ithaca Squirrel Slayer."
