The Remingtons are great autoloaders. I've still got the 1st one my dad bought me back in 1967. 12 ga. 28 VR mod. Since then I bought 6 more back in the early 70's. some are still N.I.B. I loved the gun so much, I thought I'd buy a few more incase I ever wore out the original one.

LOL
Bought a few of the 1187's when they first came out back in the late 80's. The first one was a 30" RemChoke The next one was a 26" RC, then a slug gun, and then a matching skeet & trap set with beautiful wood. I use the 30" for waterfoul hunting, and the 26" for upland bird hunting.
Since I always love a challenge, I mainly shoot a Winchester Mod 12 pump. Makes it more entertaining when you have to concentrate on pumpimg the gun after each shot, and BTW, it'll make you a way better shot. I've out shot by buddies on a sporting clays coarses with my Mod 12's.
If you're looking for a real good auto, for a reasonable price, you can't beat the 1187. 3" chamber, and a choke tube bbl. If you decide on the Remington, just make sure you keep the magazine tube CLEAN, and DON'T put any oil on it, the oil is what makes them get gummy and jam up. Clean the tube after everytime you shoot the gun, and you'll probably never have an issue with it jammimg.
Good luck, and now let the hunt begin.
