Thoughts?
1100 is a true classic, but it's heavy and limited to 2 3/4" rounds, even in 12.
11-87 Premier 12 Gauge is similar, a tad lighter, balances nicely, looks great, and will shoot any round I'd ever want it to.
Clearly, people like the 1100. Remington tried to can it 20 years ago, but now makes more variations of it than ever, due to sustained strong demand.
What's the difference?
Is there a good reason to stick with an 1100 for an all-around gun? What about a 20 gauge for upland birds?
I don't care much about 3" 20 gauge shells, but the 11-87 is really nice in 20/26", or with a straight grip and 23" barrel.
Experiences?
Thanks!
