| I am starting to shoot in Tactical or 3 gun matches and I am currently using a Mossberg 590A1. I am wanting to switch to an autoloader, and I do see alot of Remington 1100's being used. What is the difference between the 1100 & 11-87 and what is recommended for reliability? Please advise. |

1187s can take 3" shells, the 1100 only takes 2 3/4 inch shells. There are a lot more after market accessories for the 1100.
I have two 1100s. One is the 1100 TAC 2 with a 18" barrel, and the other is the 1100 Tac 4 with the 22" barrel. I have a few friends that do 3 gun matches, and they shoot the Tac 4 with the longer barrel, higher capacity (9 shells), and because it comes with three chokes to adjust patterns. I love my Tac 2 and Tac 4. Take a look at gunbroker, and you can get them for under $750. |

Quoted:
Depends on your budget. Get a Benelli if you can afford it; if not get a Saiga. You could also go with Remington 11-87, or Mossberg 930. This decision needs to be determined by which division the OP wants to shoot in. A Saiga will immediately put him in Open due to the fact it uses detachable magazines. |

Mossberg 930? +1 You may not be seeing a lot of Remy for a reason. I hear bad things about Remy's in three gun. The Mossy had a front sight issue but I here that's fixed. All armchair and net warrior advice here but I am going to purchase a 930 SPX this fall. |
