I was just in the same boat. went to gander mountain and narrowed search down to 1187, stoeger, and 930/935. as I was looking the gunsmith came out of the back. I asked him his opinion, he stated that the 1187 quality is not what it used to be. he estimates that out of every 100, they get 5 back for immediate repair. he said it is still a good gun though and does recommend. I then asked about the 930/935 he said it is just as well made as a remington and does not see very many back. of those that do it is usually a cosmetic issue, such as safety switch breaking etc. he said guys that usually buy those are "heavy use" guys and they beat them up. he said he did recommend that gun highly. I boughy a 930, for $250.00 less that they wanted for the remington. I paid $350 for the synthetic "waterfowl" black version. I have only test fired it and so far so good. also came with a sling!

I bought a 935 two seasons ago and have had mixed results with it. Right afterI boughtI gave it a quickcleaning and took it out shoot a few rounds of trap with it then took it duck hunting the next morning. The first morning it was COLD and it froze up on me within a half hour. I figured there was some sort of packing grease or something i didnt get out of it and took it home and gave it the full rub down. Well the next weekend i go out and the same thing happened again soI did my research and read that sometimes the spring in the stock will get gunked up on a new 935. SoI took that apart and cleaned it up and it would cycle fine until i went out hunting about a month later and it froze up again. After this I took it to a buddy who is a gun genious and had him take everything apart and clean everything and put it together for me. Well this season i took it out for another try and havent had a problem with it. So to make a long story short after i got it running fineI loved it but it was kinda frustrating at first.

so you think if im not hunting in freezing weather it will do fine? or do you think i might have the same problems? i hardly ever hunt in that cold of weather it is normally in the 40's for me
