RE: New gun time.
If you want a reasonably priced 3.5" 12 gau
Look at a Rem SPR 453
Hands down better than the 11/87 ( I own both )
After I did the break in as directed
I can leave it set for 3.5" shells and it cycles 2 3/4" trap loads perfictly
I huntand shoot more than most guys
I have cleaned it 1 time this season
Other than shaking it back in forth under water to remove most of the mud , after droping it in the muck
And I have not had 1 failure to feed or work
