Might have landed a “Holy Grail”
« on: March 24, 2021, 07:30:39 PM »
I have been searching for another Old School Remington. They are getting tougher to find. Through a stroke of luck, and the stars aligning, I picked this 1187 Special Purpose Turkey in Trebark Camo with a 21 inch barrel. It is in excellent shape, just needed a cleaning detail. I wanted a Greenleaf, but this one presented itself, so I grabbed it. Has a Indian Creek .665 in it, will be patterning it tomorrow. I will put my Aimpoint Red Dot on it later tonite. I love the camo, gun is light, and compact. Be well, thanks for listening....

Congrats, I would venture a guess that there were fewer of those guns produced compared to the Bottomland and Greenleaf versions. But don't give up on your Greenleaf dreams.

I wish I had more gun shops in my area....maybe I could find something like that....yeah I'm a little jealous. :-[ There is one shop in my town and they don't have much for inventory. The next closest shop is 35 miles away. Congrats on the great find.  :icon_thumright:

Congrats on a great find.
11/87 Sps t guns in Trebark are indeed rare.
They were introduced in 1992 only as the Nwtf gun of the year.
I have quite an extensive Old School Remington collection and have found more Trebark guns than Greenleaf guns it seems. I own 6 Trebark 11/87’s.
