I have a 11-87 that I bought 5 years ago.I think you will like this gun very well.My 11-87 is the light contour with a 26"barrel.Its lighter then some of my pumpguns are,so carrying it all day isn't a problem.It's also easy to clean after the hunting season ends,I really like the Remington brand of guns for this reason.I can take this gun apart and clean it myself,rather then having to take it to a gunsmith.Remington makes the best feild guns on the market,in my opinion.Good luck and enjot the new gun.
