I found a local Remington 1187 SPS-T 3" and sent the man a deposit and I will be heading down his way late next week and I will stop in and pick it up.The Gun is what looks to be in excellent shape and is a 3" short barreled turkey model,I believe that is Greenleaf camo?...I have been looking for a few years to add an older Remington in an older pattern to go with my other 1187 3.5" I bought in 2020.

I am excited, I had a few others I was ready to purchase but when this became availiable I jumped on it right away.

It was a great find for the collection and for the price, a steal. I already have a handful of rem chokes in my collection but I am going to start looking for another,maybe two to add as well.If it shoots like my other 1187 with bead then there will be no reason to add any sights but If it does not.I am going to use some fiber optic sights on this gun.

Looks to be of the same vintage, this one was from 1988 and in some different camo. I added the cantilever and scope!

Great find!

Beautiful gun, great find. I love the Old camo Remi’s. I picked up the sister gun to yours, brand new in box last summer. It is the Greenleaf 870 SPS Turkey. The Greenleaf ones are hard to find. I plan on taking mine out opening day. I put an Indian Creek tube in it, it shoots Hevi-13  #7, and Longbeard 6’s fantastic. Best of luck with it, post some pattern pics…..great find

Last summer a used Greenleaf 870 sold for over 1800 dollars on gunbroker. New ones in box north of 2000 dollars. 1187’s fetch a bit more……Best time to sell these is March/April……crazy numbers for these…

I jumped on it for what I paid, in Canadian dollars would be about $675 American.I am going to go tomorrow and pick it up as I changed my schedule and its about an hours drive. The gun was used a handful of times by an older man for turkey hunting,he said it may have been shot 15 times and in the woods 10 times,from the pictures and what he told me,mint shape,cleaned and babied the few times he had it out.

That is a fantastic price. You can’t touch them for anywhere near that. Best of luck with it, they are great Guns and pattern real good.

I went and picked gun up,Its in better shape than even I thought by pictures,Its litterally been sitting in a locker for 15 years, the owner bought it new and used it for 4-5 years hunting turkeys,2-3 times year,he said he maybe has put 25 shells through it,if that.Its a 99/100,no wear on loading area,none in barrel at all.He said it originally came with a sling and a turkey choke but his grandson had borrowed them years ago. I also purchased 3 boxes of hevi #6 in 3" and 3 boxes of mag blend in 3" ,It was basically 55% of what most places are asking for it now up here.

The Remington 1187 23" 3.5" that I bought new in box in 2020, has more wear from me shooting it 15 times and hunting with it a handful of times the last 2 years,so I know that this gun is as near "new" as you can get. He didn't know they were "collectibles" and I didn't say anything. I am glad I seen this gun yesterday,I just happend to be checking for barrels on the same site.

That looks great!  I picked up an 11-87 Special purpose Turkey a year ago Sept.  I think I paid $400 for it, but it is a 2000 model, not quite the one everyone wants but close.  I think it has what they call Original Mossy Oak Break Up.  I think it is the next version after the greenleafs.  You'll really like yours!

I also have a 2004 Rem 1187 sp 23" 3.5" that I bought brand new in box in 2020,Its in Original Mossy oak break up.It shoots amazing patterns with longbeards and stock turkey choke.

I have these Rem chokes in my collection already-

-Carlson's Longbeard xr .660
-Primos tightwad .660
-Primos Tss Jellyhead .650
-Primos Jellyhead Maximum .660
-Remington Wingmaster Hd turkey/predator .670

and the original stock turkey choke that came with my Rem 1187 23" 3.5" that is not leaving my other gun.

I am going to try and find an original jellyhead tube. I had one years back and sold it with the gun and I haven't found one anywhere to replace it.
