I'd be interested in your thoughts on that shotgun

I've wanted a nice auto for awhile and I think this 11-87 fills the bill. I've shot about 100 rounds of Federal field loads through it; it seems reliable.

It took me a few rounds to get used to the long barrel and that big ol' Bradley bead; but I was pretty much hammering clays with it awhile ago from our little cheapie thrower. Peggi shot it a 5-6 times and I don't think she missed a bird with it. She said the recoil was Scarcely noticeable, but she gets pretty focused on killing those clays LOL. I'd say it kicks about as little as any 12 gauge I've shot in recent memory.

To tell the truth, I like short barrels better than long one and sooner or later this will get trimmed to 22-23" and a set of True-Chokes installed. It's a light contour barrel and there ain't enough meat to re-install the Rem-Chokes, that far back.
