Hello,
I'd like to own a Rem 1100 for clay games and upland birds. I'm looking into the older vintage models as they are more affordable and probably just as nice as the new ones for cheaper.
Most of the ones I find are 70s era with a 30'' no VR fixed full choke. How much do these usually go for in very good+ condition?
Are the barrels thick enough to be opened up to modified or even install choke tubes?
Is it worth owning a Rem 1100 for clay/game hunting or is it better to just get a Benelli/Beretta/Browning instead for the improved reliability and load versatility?
The older guns are 2 3/4'' guns, can they handle normal target loads up to high brass pheasant loads or does the gas system need to be adjusted to prevent damage to the gun?
