They will ALL FREEZE if you put the wrong lube in them for 15 degree hunting...

Yeah, but some are FAR easier to freeze or are more acceptable to moisture than other, regardless of lube.

For your budget if you want the ability to change our point of impact I’d get a SX2 or 3 from Winchester... they have a step rib as well so if you have eye dominance issues step ribs help a lot.

Other than that the 1187 is better, I’ve had both and still have a 1187 at the moment.. but I am a Benelli snob as well.

Well, the 11-87 seems to work fine. Yesterday , 1 mallard, 4 greenwings , 1 canadian , and a bufflehead. 17 shots. Slow slow day!

I have 2 of the 11-87 supermags. One is a 11-87 XCS (extreme conditions shotgun) the other has a 21" barrel for turkey hunting. They both shoot 3-1/2" shells and I love both of them. Never had an issue out of either one!

The 1187 has a stainless mag tube and the supposed ability to run lower pressure rounds without swapping a barrel.

Never saw the problem of swapping bbls on an 1100.

Never mixed ammo on a hunt, hunted one type of critter.
My magnum 1100s cycles 1250 fps target loads fine.

The system is dirty, esp if you shoot crap ammo. And over oiling the mag tube will sludge to single shot.

Wonder how many problems w 1100 were due to WD40 or other stuff. Remoil wiped off leaves enough to protect and not gum. I have to clean the gun from crap weather anyway, so no prob having a blued magtube.

Some rubes at work cursed the 1100s, said to polish tje magtube shiny so it wouldnt hang up. WTH? No bluing is just asking for rust and then youre worse off.

1100s are slow and heavy, but i get more like that every year. LOL

Have an 1100 SP and an 870 Supermag. Am content.

Every so often Wally World will have a clearance sale on guns. I bought a 20 gauge 11/87 for $129.00. Couldn't turn it down.
