Gunmart,
My Hastings barrel is STRAIGHT RIFLED for shotshells.... I use it on my 1100 Rem. for sporting clays. It works great at close ranges on the course. At longer ranges, it performs the same as any other barrel. It was a well kept secret of mine for one season..... then the word got out, now other 1100 - 1187 shooters are using them. The Hastings Barrels became hard to find. So I quickly ordered another, and am kicking around the idea of getting one in 3" for my 1187 turkey gun. I LOVE TURKEY HUNTING.... but it is much harder than people think. Ole' TOM is a pretty smart bird! Ive only killed 17 turkeys in my 13 years of hunting. We are allowed 2 per year here in Pa. 17 is a great number.... But my pap has killed 57 turkeys in Pa. alone with the SAME 1100 Rem.
That old beat up gun is the ONLY thing I want when he passes on....and I hope that we have MANY more turkey hunts ahead of us!
