I strolled into a pawnshop yesterday just browsing around, and low and behold they had a 11-87 in bottomland camo 26", the factory finish is coming off in places, but all in all it don't look to bad. The asking price is $500, but he come down 50, I'm tempted to go back and put it on layaway, but I won't be able to get it out before season opens. Does this sound like a good deal, or pass on it. I don't need it, but want it, I've been looking for one for some time.
buy it!!!you only live one time and you cant take your money to the grave
I have one with a 25 inch barrel in near perfect shape and one in an 870 with a 20 inch barre in perfect shape. Love them!!
It may be a 25" barrel , I didn't measure it.
$450 sounds like a good deal from here.
Buy it!!!
What they said
Those guns came in 21", 26" and 28" barrel lengths. :OGturkeyhead:
what pawn shop? :OGturkeyhead: just kidding I love mine...
Today I went back to look at it some more, and I wanted to take barrel off and inspect it real good before I put some money down on it. I asked to look at it, and asked if he would mind if removed the barrel and for end, he said no, but I removed the forend anyway, and it kinda pissed him off, he started to say something, and I cut him off, and said "I'm the one buying this so"! Anyway there was signs of rust and neglect, and when I asked about the law away plan, he said 20 percent down and 60 days, well I can't pay it off in 60 days, so I told him have a great day and walked out! You win some you lose some!
Dam, that just ain't fair. Any chance he can bend the rules? a little? worth asking?
Well I borrowed some money, and I'm gona go back over and have $300 in my hand! All they can do is say no! I took the choke out of it and it was an imp cyl., but that don't matter cause I have a few rem chokes.
Go get it. That Sumtoy will be on its way to you in the morning from my house and it would love to ride in that 87
Just got back online and saw your update, nice!
That price sounds high if it's in the shape you described. I would pass on it myself, there are others out there in much better shape for the same money.

that's what's killing me, I have been looking around for another, I've seen a few on gunbroker, but by the time you figure the transfer, and shipping it's up around 500, and I just didn't want to spend that much right now. There is another PS in town that has an 1100 mag, but it has a fixed mod, and it's not VR, but I may could get it for 400, but then I'd have to find a barrel with rem chokes, or have threaded. Decisions Decisions!
My wife once told me it is just money..I've made her eat them words ever sense :TooFunny:
I gave $385 for mine the other day on GB. It is in good shape.
You found one on gunbroker? I've been looking for one on their for my brother for 3 weeks. Don't know how I missed it ???
The ones I'm looking at on GB are not bottomlands, just plain old SP's!

It was advertised as "early model 11-87", no reference to special purpose or original bottomland.
