As an aside, I see many more Remington Model 11s and Auto 5s than I do the Savage guns. I don't believe the parts interchange between any of them.

Question: Is the Savage like the Model 11 or the Auto 5? There are differences, no speed load, or mag cutoff in the Model 11.

I used to shoot high base 2&3/4 shells in my grandfather's ancient Model 11 all of the time. Strong guns, but indeed, don't shoot a 3"er in a barrel not made for them.
