Classic Remington 1100 12 Gauge Review & Shoot - Buck Bird & Slug

[@lisachasteen5312]

I was at a department store in Anderson South Carolina in 1974. I saw a Remington 1100 and my mouth started watering. I kept going back to the cage to look at it. I was using an old double barrel Rossi for bird hunting. My wife followed me back to the sports counter and saw what I was looking at she said, and I quote you will not buy that shotgun. I said and I quote I’ll have that damn shotgun before I leave here. I wrote a check that I could not afford to do and took it home with me. I have killed literally hundreds of dove and quail over the years with that gun. I still have the gun, but I have a different wife. Steve C.

I learned early on to have seperate accounts lol

[@miked8227]

I’m blessed because I’m the one drags my feet and she’s encouraging me to go for it. Sx4 12ga. This month.

[@AldoSchmedack]

LOL love that! ❤

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

HA, great story, with a happy ending!

[@James-fl9bv]

My wife bought me a Remington 1100 for my Christmas present our 1st Christmas together back in 1974. Hunted with it for several years. Only things that I did was change out the beautiful wooden stock and forearm for synthetic. Didn't want to Mar up the wooden one and bought a vented rib Rem choke barrel. Still have it. Bought a Remington 1100 20 ga several years ago and finally bought a 28 ga 1100. Still have All of them

[@robcarr8505]

Love it love it love it!!!! The 1100 is my absolute favorite gun of all time!!

[@65stang98]

my dad who doesnt shoot very often but did a lot of hunting as a kid won a local skeet shooting competition with this gun. Him and a avid skeet shooter in the last round was fun to watch.

[@さすらいの旅人-w2j]

This is my first gun. I have owned it for 23 years. This gun is one of my best friends.

[@theknifeman7097]

This is the gun i grew up carrying everywhere. I love it

[@samlipsit517]

Me too.. never leaving me !

[@Don.E.63]

Same here, had it since 1977, best shotgun I've ever owned.

[@dalejohnson9624]

I bought my 1100 from my father when I was 20 years old I'm now almost 60 still have it and love the gun never have had any problems with it

[@exploark8466]

Planning on bagging a deer or two this season with said scattergun mine runs #6 , #7 1/2 low brass field and target flawlessly! As well as slugs and 00buck!! Damn good classic scattergun i might say ❤❤

[@victorbeauvois]

The best shotgun ever ❗

[@jimamccracken5783]

Nice shotgun for sure. I have 5 Browning Auto 5s with two being Sweet 16s one of those new in box. All are Belguim made and in very near mint condition. They are all locked away in a Bank Vault. I have 3 Rem 1100s 1 12ga 1 16ga and then a 20 ga. These are my shooting guns. Great video there ol boy.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Quite the collection! I reviewed a Sweet 16 a couple months ago along with a Modern Auto 5

[@glockerbob]

Good shootin TEX. Love my 1100 it was born in 1972.

[@Hunter-il1pt]

Beautiful guns, I have the same one in near perfect condition also.

[@Matzah1982]

Nice piece and a nice range finder. As you could see in my video I kind of have to guess a rough estimate of how far my shooting distance is by counting my paces which gives me a rough idea but it can vary by up to 5 feet hence I’m not sure if I was 15 yards or closer to 50 feet away from the cantaloupe.. With that mini pond in the way I had to count my paces indirectly off to the side of it so it was about 23 paces which is somewhere between 15 and 18 yards for sure

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

That's what I did for years brother. Got tired of it so I bought me a good but affordable rangefinder lol. That and some haters in the comments doubted my target distances, so now they can't say crap...

[@DeanMk1]

Nice little video. I'll have go back and watch the one you did on the 20 ga. I got one of those 20 ga. lightweights sitting in the gun case. Could the difference in felt recoil be due to gas operated vs. blow back operation?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Actually you're right. I never even thought about it- I just assumed the Browning was gas (seeing as how it's 2 grand lol). But at second look, they state "softest shooting RECOIL-OPERATED." Good catch. So, yes, absolutely that's why, and maybe the 1100 weighs half a pound more to soften the recoil further...

[@tomlongbow]

Thanks for the Info. Greetings from Germany 🍻👋🏻

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

USA 👋 🍻

[@joeltowle2737]

The 1100 is gas operated and the A5 is recoil operated.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

That explains it

[@MikeZfyiviarski-wu5fr]

My dad has an 1100 lt 20 gauge. Sad that the forend cracked due to an o ring problem

[@MikeZfyiviarski-wu5fr]

My dad has an 1100 lt. Kinda sad that the forend cracked in half because of an issue with the O ring

[@Fyoutube444]

I definitely thought it would stay tighter together especially with that longer Barrel at 20 yards.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

In my experience, with the choke that was installed it was a pretty decent pattern compared to other shotguns. Had no problems busting the 50 yard clays in the video...

[@jeff0nyschuk670]

??? For you!! What can you do with a 1100 that I can't do with my 11-87 and my will shoot 3" too?

[@theknifeman7097]

Smoked a many a dove with it and everything else lol

[@georgekershner6626]

I heard not to shoot steel shot through the older barrels, anymore confirm that?

[@cw2a]

💪🏼🤘🏼♥️🙏

[@KalebMcDonnell-w7i]

I have been looking at a couple 1100s, just want to verify there should no problem shooting steel out of one of these right?

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yes, as long as it's not a full or extra full choke.

[@gabel.5269]

Depends on how old the barrel is. If you have removable chokes, get a steel rated choke.

[@georgekershner6626]

What's the barrel length and choke of barrel

[@AlChemicalLife]

This range looks owfully familiar 🤔

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

🤫 Shhh

[@brucepoole8552]

I have the exact model but it has a remington rubber buttplate

[@Valorius]

Now that's a classy lady.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yes sir!

[@Valorius]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Very few modern guns stack up favorably to the classics, IMO.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

I have been impressed with the quality and reliability with some of the older guns that he has loaned me. The saying they don't make them like they used to is certainly true...

[@victorbeauvois]

he

[@eltriunfodeuncazador7328]

The worst gun in the 🌎🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@DaveL188]

You made the statement now back it up

[@hirambrashier1449]

Owned several 1100s over the years and never had one problem with any of them
