I owned an 11-87 Sporting Clay Model for several years until I heard the siren song of a Beretta over/under. The 11-87 is different from the 1100 because it has a gas compensating system that allows for heavier shells to be used. The 11-87 target guns like mine didn't have this compensating system so Remington simply went back to using the 1100 designation for its target guns. My 11-87 SC specifically limited the shells to no more than 1-1/4 ounce, 3-1/4 dram loads.

I like the Remington autos a lot and for your purposes it is just fine. When you make your final decision, let us know how it works out.
