Glad to see some positive feedback.  I actually like the remington shotgun line.  I like that they are all steel.  I like that there is a HUGE aftermarket for them.  I already know the 1100 series inside and out.  Now I just need to find one...

I'm digging this Easyloader made by Dave's Metalworks

So that choate oversized bolt handle works well for you Michael?  I'm thinking of going with a wooden straight stock though.

I was looking at either the choate or the Dave's Metalworks one.   I got to use both of them a little and don't know which would be better.  I'm kind of leaning toward the choate, though.

Michael has.

I currently have an 1100 that I bought a couple years back.  Paid $400 for it.  It's a good gun but I've been having problems with the feed ramp lately.  It has that speed ramp pictured above.  Will have to take it to GunDoc to take a look.  He fixed it the first time.

Also had a Beretta M1201.  Very similar to the 1100 except for the weight.  The Beretta was much lighter due to the synthetic stock.  It always hurt my shoulder when I shot it.  I had FBMG sell it for me.  I like the 1100 cause it has a wood stock of some kind.  Works well and feels great.

An 1100 is still pretty nice.  It's what I have and I love it.

Well, I found an 11-87 on Gunbroker and said "screw it, it's mine."

$342 later, and it's mine.

I should have it this sunday or thereabouts.
