The Remington 1100 has been around for ages, it is a wonderful gun that has taken its share of game. It has a nicer appeal due to its blueing and wood. The 1100 is truly a beautiful gun, and is a work horse also, but the 1187 was geared more towards a no-nonsense "working gun", so the metal parts were not blued, and the wood was left pretty plain. The 1187 is a "Working Machine", and was also sold as a "Special Purpose", meaning it could be ordered set up with a rifled sight slug barrel / scope mounts, or for turkey hunting. Both of these fine firearms deserve a place in every man's gun safe. I also own a Benelli SBE II, and its a great gun too, but pricey, and has a couple flaws my Remington's don't.I'd hate to pit all three against one another, it would be interesting to say the least.
