1187 price ?

[southernhunter]

After looking for months I found a 1187 like I want . It has blue / wood finish . I think it's a premier but not certain , it comes with two barrels , 26 rem choke and a 20 inch fixed choke slug barrel . From the pics I have seen it in overall good shape , what do y'all think a fair price is on a set up like this ?

I would find out for sure if it is a premier or not first; this will affect value.

If it is a premier in good shape, 600 - 650 might be a fair price with both barrels. These guns can vary a lot though.

Check Gunbroker for approximate prices and go from there.

I have an 1187 SP (special purpose, goose gun) and it has never failed me. It also is heavy, has a significant recoil, and makes a lot of noise cycling through the action. I believe I could club a moose to death with it. Really miss my 1100.

Well I found another 1187 it's also a premier but it has the vent rib barrel , gold trigger and engravings . Asking 650 , says it is in mint shape ,any thoughts ?

Really ? I been looking around and I can't find one like it . And the few 1187 's I have found been in the 500 to 600 range and their not the fancy model .

Bought a premier a few years ago mint condition. For 450 in the box. I got a deal. If its not engraved and doesnt have the gold trigger its not a premier. A good used price fir one in good shape is 550 to 600

I gave $500 for a premier with three chokes in September that was in excellent shape.

Me and my dad both have premier 1187s neither are engraved or have gold triggers. The original premiers did not. I paid 250 for mine but it had blue wear. Dad got his for 400 in great shape

Ask to have a pic of both sides of the receiver, If it is a premiere model, it will have the word "premiere" stamped on the right side between the trigger assembly stubs. The left side should have Remington 1187 engraved in a rolling banner inside the fancy engraced scroll work. The s/n will be on the left side between the trigger assembly studs.
You could always have your local gun shop run the s/n to verify.

The plan Jane premier versions only have Remington 11-87 stamped on the left side and the word "premier" stamped below the ejection port on the right side.

I would have to agree here, it will all depend on the seller/condition and reason the gun is being sold. I paid @ $650 for mine 12-15yrs ago with the cantilevered rifled slug barrel, engraved and gold trigger.
If you look around hard enough you can find them from $400-$700 range.
