I have an 11-87 that's a few years old that I've hardly used. Got it new as a gift and kind of laid off waterfowling for a bit in the early 2000 decline, I think it was. I had to remove the barrel from time to time during the hunt due to the bolt sticking and not releasing. The barrel seems to roll during shooting and cause some sort of issue with the bolt. I'm sure I could figure it out and fix it, but the versamax is doing okay....we'll, except for the bolt handle flying out when shot. This started this past season. Remington sent me a couple of redesigns to try out this fall.
The 1187 is a back up, sitting in my cabinet with all of it's 1100 buddies, some wore slap out. Smooth top barrel, poor boy specials.
