1187

[Mr. Wizard]

I've been looking for a different semiuto for duck, deer,and turkey hunting. I like my 1100 I shoot now but want something in camo. I found a good used 1187 Sportsman camo model, 3 1/2 chamber. Are they good reliable guns? What should I pay for a used one? Of course I'd like a new Versamax or SX3 but can't justify the cost.

A 11-87 is a great proven gun. I know a lot of guy's that use them.

Son's got one and it has been a excellent gun.

I have one for a deer gun, and I like it. Never an issue with it, and I have bought it back when the 1187 first came out.

The only problem ive heard of with the 11-87 is that the O rings like to go out on them. Other than that theyre a great gun.

11-87 is a great gun, tried and true and that was the gun I wanted for my next waterfowl gun until I picked up the Browning Gold hunter all I can say It's was the best choice I ever made and at the time I spent less on the Browniing than I would have on the 11-87

My dad got one last fall. Had some jamming problems with it at first cuz he treated it like a pump, which is all he's ever owned, but after learning how to properly care for it, clean it and lube it, the gun cycles flawlessly.

I've had 4 or 5 of them and never had an issue. I'd buy a spare o-ring just in case but you'll more than likely never need it. It's just the easiest thing to pick apart on the 11-87. It's not the lightest gun out there but for waterfowling I don't see that as a negative.

[JackPineGuy]

its unanimous. Great piece
