[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4672565, member: 5958"] Oh Boy is this ever the best advice you will get. I had a Remmie 1100 that was great but it was stolen in a burglary. I bought an 11-87 SP that will kill elephants and T-Rex's with one shot and a recoil to match. Get your duck clothes on and shoulder the weapon and, if you can, shoot it. The rib come to your eye natural like or you have to move your head around like a chicken pecking rocks? You get the rear sight and the front bead lined up QUICK? Check the weight. Can you fire and work the action with the gun mounted and not lose your sight picture totally? If not, look to the autoloaders. Check barrel length. With today's steel, you really need a 32" barrel? or a 30? You only going to shoot dove? I heard that story, check the 7's, check some highbase 4's, check some T-steel. You might get invited to kill some geese and you don't want to end up with a dead shoulder from the recoil. See if you think you can shoot, kill a bird, and swing on the next one as smooth as you want it to be. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
