Wait just a second now. For those too young to know, the Remington 1100 ruled the skeet fields for years. The 11-87 is a minor mechanical adjustment. For every Benelli semi auto I have seen in the field or skeet range I have seen many 1100's. And I have had both 12 and 20 gauge Benelli's. There all right, made "over there" and over priced. The only advantage over the Rem's, is weight. Incidently, don't lay the Benelli down in a cultivated field with the bolt back, or you will spend precious time stripping it down to get the dirt from the bolt lugs openings in the bbl. They're OK, I wont bad mouth them, BUT, I like the 1100-87. Some people cannot seem to make the adjustment to the light weight of the Benelli. Also, for those who either don't know or have forgotten, Beretta came out with the Benelli system prior to Benelli's name, with an inexpensive shotgun with Beretta's name. I had one and cannot remember the model # due to a senior moment. I sold it.
