I have just recently purchased 2 11-87's. One is the premier and the other is the youth model. They are both 20 gauge. I keep my guns clean and do not allow build up or gunk. I took the guns out with my little girl for her first dove hunt. I have got to say that this is not a very good quality gun. First of all, from the factory the premier was assembled wrong. It would not eject shells or cycle. Luckily I had my girls to look at. Secondly, these guns jamb more often than not. It is a sad day for Remington. I wish I had not purchased these guns. A friend has the 12 gauge and he is happy with it. Me, no way.
