looking at a remington 11-87 sporting clays what are yalls thoughts on it?

Solid gun. Been around forever.

It'll get the job done and is pretty inexpensive, but there's definitely better ones out there.

Uncle has one that's prob as old as I am. It's an all synthetic. Still killing with no problems. I think they go around $700 for the synthetics. Is the sporting clays wood stock?

[simsknives]

ya and i think i can get it for about $400 its a ported barrel and really pretty wood it has the nickle plated reciever.

The only problems I had was in cold weather. The O ring broke. Just put some extras in your case.

I've got two of them. A Premier and a Special Purpose. I love both of mine.

Every once in a while I'll have a light dove load (7/8 oz) hang up but have no problem cycling the heavy dove loads (1 oz).

But remember with any auto loader, gotta keep them clean.

You guys must be youngsters! The 11-87 was introduced in 1987.

As JCK said, there are better shotguns, but for the price, it is solid. I have one for duck;geese shooting, and it does the job.

Yup, all it basically is is a 1100 that is capable of shooting 3" shells.

But the 11-87 Super Magnum is capable of shooting 3 1/2" shells.

Ouch ported barrel, invest in ear muffs as well. I bet that's a pretty sharp looking gun being wood and nickel receiver.

X2 on the 7/8 oz light loads, that's a headache anyday. I normally won't even buy the 1oz loads, my 1100 doesn't really like them either.

Haha ya, I was introduced in 1985.

Funny thing though, I've been shooting 3" out of my 1100 for a while now and haven't had any problems. I wanted an 11-87 when I got the 1100 but the funds weren't there. Guess I didn't need it anyway. It's close to 15 yrs old and still has the original o-ring in it. Don't know how it's been through the ringer.

thanks for the posts do you think it will cycle 3" duck loads well?

If its a magnum receiver, it's 3" capable. The barrel will be marked with a "M"

I've killed more ducks with 3" duck loads in my 1187's than I care to count!
