Semi auto 20ga compact camo
« on: May 04, 2020, 09:20:46 PM »
Does anyone still make a truly compact semi auto 20 in camo with a 21” barrel or so?? Seems like all the ones I am seeing are called compact but have a 26-28” barrel. That’s a bit much for a kid in my opinion!

I bought a Remington 11-87 Compact synthetic in 20ga with a 21" barrel.  I had it dipped in Original Bottomland.  I love that little gun.  The two turkeys I killed this season with it, didn't really care for it.

Second the Remington 11-87 Compact. This is my second season shooting it and love it. I tagged out last week so now my nephew is toting it instead of his big ole 12 gauge.
Says he’s gonna get one for next season.

I would kill to be able to find an original 11-87 compact 20ga in camo! But they are hard to come by

Just buy a 1187 compact and build how you want it. This is one i built 2 years ago and just bought another one from buds gun shop to build. Gonna set one up for my sons first gun and shoot 1oz handloads. Should have little kick at all.

From what I have found, Remington does not make the 11-87 compact anymore. I lucked up and was able to find one new in box locally on Armslist.

Interesting. They aren’t on Remington’s website and aren’t on a lot of other websites. Thanks for the link! I actually just bought one on gun broker.

My bad...I missed the word camo. Tri-star makes one.
