Surprisingly as an 1100 and 11-87 owner(15) this is the one 11-87 I would not own. Every one I know of has had an issue with it. I am certain some have no issues. Have had 4 to work on this fall. One was ruined and the others were repairable. To be very honest two were broken by the ammo they were shooting. The Kent Fasteel seems to be having a bit of a problem this year. That was the ammo the two broken guns were shooting when they messed up. One was repairable...the other the bbl was bulged in 4 places and the bolt was ruined. Seems as though Remington is having a bit of trouble with the gun. The 870 Supermag however is ok....and in my opinion a better gun than the Benelli Pump. Of course I don't like plastic receivers. Although overpriced the Benelli SBE II is a good shooting gun. Have one that I got a great buy on. Works well. Also have a Beretta Extrema in 3 1/2 in. It also works well. The extrema is also overpriced but one of them has to go. The Extrema is camouflaged and the Benelli is black....but color doesn't make any difference to me. One of my 11-87 guns is black and one camo too. My daughter and grandson are using them right now...shooting geese. Remington is supposed to be working on another semi auto to try to compete with the B Guns. If you have to have a remington...wait for the new one..probably next year if Remington stays the course.
