I just bought and shot for the first time my used Remington 1100 20ga I picked up used. I paid about $300 for (1977 with Modified 28" barrel). I think the 11-87 allows you to shoot 2-3/4" and 3" shells, but the 1100 only 2-3/4" so I was told the action is a little different (but will your wife want to shoot 3" shells?). The only think I wouldn't mind would be to have the abiltiy to change the choke with the tubes, like the newer ones have, and maybe a recoil pad. The 1100 I got is in excellent shape and shoots great. I shot clays off a Hoppe mechanical thrower for the first time last Friday. I enjoyed it thoroughly and plan to do it again soon. I hit maybe 35-40% with my new (to me) Rem 1100, and I state again first time with clays (and doubles no less). I was happy with that percentage. The second clay was the difficult one for me. But with multiple shooters if I didn't get it someone else usally would pick it off, so we didn't waste too many clays.
Sorry, I rambled on but I had fun
