11-87 will serve you better of the two, it will shoot light loads to heavy. If it gets real cold I believe you are better off with a short recoil system like a Benelli or a pump gun. Wrong kind or excess lube in cold weather really puts the hurt on function. Laying out in sub zero weather in a layout blind for Canada's is as demanding on you as your action type. My Red Label o/u allways works twice in a row no matter how cold it is. MB
