Home Forums Birds & Dogs Waterfowl which is better rem 1100 or 11-87

I ran a couple of 1100 magnums for dove.
1300 fps lead stuff cycled em.

Goose hunting I ran bismuth 3" and when it got really crappy and cold, I stayed home.
Because of me, not the gun.

I have heard a lot of stuff about 1100's not running, magnum and standard.
Used to rabbit hunt in crappy cold weather, and my old 1100 reg ran like a champ.

My bud from Minn just shook his head, never believed an 1100 could run.
Dunno what events prior had him so down on 1100's.

He figured 1187s would be the solution, bought 3 diff ones for tukey hunting and they were all problematic (this when 1187's first came out).
I gave him a nice 1100 magnum LOL
