About the Remington 11-87
The 11-87 updated the Model 1100 platform with a self-regulating gas system designed to cycle a wider range of shell loads, from light target loads to heavy magnum hunting rounds. It was offered in field, sporting clays, and turkey/waterfowl-specific configurations.
Because it shares much of its overall design lineage with the 1100, the 11-87 is often compared to it, though the two are not interchangeable in all parts and are viewed as distinct models by collectors and shooters alike.
Camouflage-finished waterfowl and turkey variants, along with standard blued field guns, make up most of what is encountered on the market today.

Factor 1
Configuration (field, sporting, camo/turkey)
Different factory configurations were aimed at different uses and are assessed accordingly.
Factor 2
Gas system condition
As with other gas-operated shotguns, cleanliness and function of the piston system is a practical condition factor.

Camouflage finish condition
Wear or fading on camo-dipped finishes is a distinct condition consideration compared to blued guns.
Factor 4
Barrel and choke setup
Interchangeable choke tubes and barrel length/rib type affect how a gun fits its intended use.
Factor 5
Stock material and condition
Synthetic versus walnut stocks, and their condition, factor into overall assessment.
Factor 6
Included accessories
Extra barrels, choke tubes, and original case or paperwork can be part of an evaluation.
