I have one that my father borrowed in the 1940s, and did much better pheasant hunting than with his own shotgun.

I saw my cousin shoot that shotgun at the range in 1976.

In 2005, I got a chance to buy that Rem 10.

The bore was dirty, but shined up like new

It is lightweight, and ejects out the bottom.
Gunsmiths tell me that it is a good action, but weak stock.

i have been using one for the last 20 years as my main , all around 12 gage, i picked up a riot barrel on gunbrokers.com for $70.00 for deer season and use the original for birds. i got mine for $30 at a tag sale when i turned 21. the stock does crack at the pistol grip but aside from that i have never, ever had any trouble with the gun. you can get replacement stocks here and mine was drop -in. http://www.gunstocksinc.com/web_pages/Plate-pics/Remington-Stocks/Remington-Shotgun-Stocks.htm

I read somewhere that Browning was intrigued with that design.

Maybe he as embarrassed that the 1897 has 100 parts.

My dad bought a Trap Grade Model 10 used in the sixties, with a 32" full choke barrel. He used that as his hunting shotgun from that day on. I always admired it, the straight stock makes it look classy.

When dad passed away in January, my two brothers and I were splitting up the guns that had family history, and I ended up with it. I shot a box of shells at pasture clays and then cleaned it and put it up. It has a really tight choke, so I wonder how dad ever hit any doves or quail with it, but he did!
