The 11-87 takes a back seat to no other similarly priced gun in terms of quality.

All you are ever going to get from the Remington bashers is very limited anecdotal evidence.

I'd go for a 3" 11-87. It will be as familiar as your 1100, it will kill any turkey doornail dead inside of 40 yards, and is not too heavy to carry in pheasant hunts. Sure, lighter is better, but if someone can't carry a 7 1/2 lb gun for a mile or two, they need serious help in a gym.

cbxchris,
You make a good point. If they made the 1100 with 3" or 3 1/2", I probably would have made up my mind to go with that. I would like a magnum for the turkey hunting.

It's called 11-87. :roll:
