Remington 11-87 Sportsman: When Enough is Enough
Sporting auto shotguns have escalated in price in the last decade as companies meet the wider performance window many hunters demand. Dedicated waterfowlers are shooting 3 1/2″ autos to launch enough steel shot for far away ducks and geese. Turkey hunters demand the same thing, but for launching buckets of lead in beachball-size patterns. What if you’re like me and only occasionally hunt waterfowl and mostly hunt upland birds like dove, quail, chukar and shoot recreational skeet and sporting clays? For such occasions I don’t need a gun costing in excess of $1,200. If geese, duck and turkey were my passion, then yes, I would need one. It does improve the odds.
Remington 870P MAX
To me the test of time is one of the most important measures of the success or failure of any firearm. When we work within a field where the technology is very mature, truly new stuff is hard to find. Often we see the same basic action adapted to fill different roles. That is how it is with the Remington 870 pump. Since it has been in continuous production since 1950, I guess we’d have to call it a success. More than 7 million sold removes the guesswork.
Remington’s 332: A new gun, a good dog and bob whites – Charley spends a morning in paradise
If I had to characterize the Model 332 I would use words like “versatile” and “utilitarian.” The production model, which is competitively priced, will do a lot of things well. I’ve used it for skeet, sporting clays and quail hunting and with the exception of swapping a few Remchoke tubes there has been no need to mess with it.
Remington 1100 competition master – Out of the Box
If there has ever been an all-around champ of shotguns it must be the Remington 1100. It was the first widely successful gas-operated semiautomatic shotgun; heck successful isn’t even close to being superlative enough. Hugely successful is modest praise.

The Remington Ideal 300 is an ideal Over/Under indeed.
