[QUOTE="BwanaObie, post: 2552677, member: 120835"] I've had many years of good luck with the Remington 1100 in a 30" tube, then the 1187 in a 26" configuration. The Swiss gunsmith I've long used shaved the comb down on the 1187 to a production finish as I don't like sustained recoil. Liked the 1187 better for trap & skeet although neither one is my specific for the sport. My main pursuits have been the big upland chickens, then greenheads and Canada Geese. Both shotguns have accounted for well over a hundred skunks as well as foxes, close quarter coyotes, etc., around my farm buildings plus aerial predators who have developed a taste for our chickens. All these critters must think that the seeming friendly ambling figure wandering around the front yard garden area, then into the back machinery area, furtively in and out of buildings and likely can't notice or see anything under that worn out, drooping old cowpoke hat - Hah! For your careful consideration BD 68, you may wish to have a look at the Weatherby Element too as a colleague tells me his recent purchase is light in weight, equally so in recoil, flawless in operation, well balanced, and fits him like a glove. Plus, the price to him in the walnut finish was very reasonable. Good Luck, shoot straight, stay safe and God Bless America! [/QUOTE]
