I'm considering buying a semi auto shotgun that handles both 2 3/4 & 3" shells. I saw buds has an 1187 for 529 shipped. That seemed like a pretty decent deal, but I figured I'd ask around here first.
Bud's for $529 shipped sounds like a great deal. Whittaker has used 11-87 for $489. I wanted one bad enough to buy one that had about 5 shells ran through it for $500. It was the special purpose that had all the black furniture on it. I don't mind paying a bit more if it helps my little shop out.
I really haven't seen too many used 11-87's around and when I do the people want a price that's almost new which tells me that they really aren't too interested in selling their gun. I think that says a lot for the guns and how much people like them. At the buds price I could get it at $550 out my FFL's door.
