RE: 1100 vs 1187
There is a minor difference in the gas system...you have 2 vent holes in the barrel as opposed to one on the 1100 and some other minor differences. The 11-87 is capable of shooting 3 1/2 " shells and is a little bit heavier.
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 11-87 I believe is just their newer lineup, not sure much was changed.... |

RE: 1100 vs 1187
ORIGINAL: SHOTARYE 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. My 11-87 has checkered high gloss stock and nice bluing. |
