I'm glad you've not had problems with you Remmingtons. That's not my experience with them when putting them in less than ideal conditions after running a number of rounds through them between cleaning (e.g. long hunt to N.D. when we havelittle opportunity to break shotguns down completely for a thorough cleaning).

If you're running a box or 2 through not and then and clean well between, maybe they will perform. However, by the natural of a gas operated firearm the action will get dirty sooner to affect operation more than with an action like the Benelli inertia system. Put cold weather and even some snow and ice into the mix and I'd be surprised if your gas operated shotgun functions as well after several days of consistent use.

I know that with a gas operated Remington I've owned in the past, cold weather and a little moisture and it ofter turned into a single shot quickly. That was a highpowered rifle. But the priciple is the same.

My buddies Rem 1100's have very often left him with 1 or 2 shots only before he'd get a misfeed and he'd clean the things every night, with very little lubrication that tend to gum it up.

Use what works. For me that's Benelli.
