However, my latest acquisition was a Remington 1100 that a bought a few years back....it was 'pre-owned', but it was in excellent shape; just a few nicks in the stock.
Took it duck hunting last fall and bagged 4 mallards and a black duck using some bismuth handloads....great handling gun. Bought a 26" barrel with an I.C. choke for close upland work. I plan on taking it to the pheasant preserve this fall (as well as duck hunting) and hopefully up to the U.P. next fall for some grouse & woodcock action.

I think the Rem. model 1100 is the benchmark for autoloading shotguns. It is certainly the best and most dependable autoloader I have ever had. About 20 yrs. ago I got tired of my A-5 jammamatic being a single shot and traded it in on the Rem. - one of the best trades I ever made.
