I want you guys to know I tried the search function for some questions I have, but no luck. So here goes.
I have found a Remington 1100 and an 870 chambered in .410. I've wanted one each of these little shotguns for the longest time ... can't explain it. Yes, I have a couple of real 12 ga shotguns, but these little guys really intrigue me.
The 870 has an elevated rib with a mid-barrel small aiming dot on it. It is parkerized, but has a few rust spots on the left side of the action. Seems to function okay. I've only handled it at the gun shop, not shot it. Cheap wood. Asking price is $180.
The 1100 is pristine. Nice wood. Shiny bluing. 98% overall. Also vent rib. (What's with the vent rib on .410s?) Haven't shot it either, same gun shop. Asking price is $475!
Could I trouble you gents for opinions about these two "values"? I realize that without seeing them, it's difficult, but humor me and assume my descriptions are accurate and there are no other things wrong with them.
I am obliged for any advice and opinions.
