After growing up shooting an 1100, I have to have an 11-87 in the safe. I have a 12ga SPS Super Mag for backup duties for my Browning, although I occasionally use it for a change. Also in the safe is an 11-87 20ga Premier, for smaller game. They take some major abuse and come back for more. My buddy has one that he has used for at least 15 years, it has even been cleaned a few times. Still as reliable as the day it was bought.
