I have an older Remington 1100 lined up to buy this week for $425. It's got beautiful polished wood and is set up for trap shooting. Today, I fired it for the first time, which was also my second and third round of trap ever, and it seemed very natural. The trigger pull has been worked on by the fellow who owns it, and it's very smooth. I shot 14 and 19, couldn't believe it for only my second day actually shooting trap!
The release button to send the bolt forward has a nice big extension, making loading the gun very easy. Additionally, it has the metal plate to stop shell ejection on it, and that seems to be the only place where there's a bit of excess wear on the bluing. I can deal with that because I want to buy a shooter. Plus, the stock is high enough that I get a good "figure eight" on the sights. Looking at the inside of the gun it seems to have been well maintained. I need to ask if he's the original owner.
Any recommendations or considerations on this model, things to look for specifically? If I don't get this one I most likely will revert to my original choice of a Mossberg 500 or 835, since they both "fit" me well, too.
Thanks in advance for your input.
