Hi All.
I remember shooting a friend's Benelli in AZ back in the early 90's. I've wanted one since. This thing was HUGE and had an enormous capacity (9 or 10?). I can't seem to find them new like that.
Anyway, as luck would have it I just received a new in box Remington 11-87 Super Magnum 12 gauge, 3.5 chamber, 28 inch barrel. I haven't even taken the parts out of the box yet.
While searching for magazine extension info for this gun I came across the Benelli vs. Rem (and others) thread and learned a little about both. But what I haven't been able to figure out yet is with this particular 11-87, which magazine extension will bring it flush (or close to flush) with the end of the barrel and what capacity will that give me? It seems the Choate brand would be best?
I've also been thinking about maybe trading this for a Benelli (yes, I know it would take TWO of these for ONE Benelli) but I still can't find that elusive Benelli hi-cap model.
My uses for this are mainly fun . . . I don't get to hunt much and I'm new to shotguns (that could change in the future). I bought my first one used from a friend last year . . a Mossberg 500 with 2 barrels.
So to sum up . . . which mag extension to get most rounds on this 28 inch barrel gun and/or should I just trade this toward a Benelli . . . and if so, which model will give me 9 or 10 round capacity in an autoloader? I doubt that I'll miss the 3.5 inch chamber if I trade.
Thanks in advance for the advice/suggestions.
Happy Holidays!
