I have had several of the 1100's ( still have 1) and a couple of different 11-87's. Never had a benelli. While I'm sure the benelli is a nice gun I certainly do not discount the remingtons as old technology. I have always had excellent service out of mine and maintenance is usually just a simple field strip and a wipe down of the magazine /gas assembly and swab out the bore. Oh and I have replaced the o ring a couple of time over the past 20 years just to be careful. Never had one fail me in the field.
