Might have landed a “Holy Grail”

[Tom007]

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....

Tom, that is one nice shotgun.  Have fun!

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.

Thanks my friend. I did have to drive a couple hours to get it. Our local shops don't get theses type guns in....I got lucky. Be safe, have a great spring........

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.
