At one time I had an 1148 28 skeet gun. It was a great gun but it rattled like a rock in a wash tub. I sold it and never looked back. A friend has an Remington 1100 LW 28 sporting clays model with choke tubes. If your looking for an auto loader this might fill the need.

The old 1100’s are much nicer guns than the new 1100 “Sporting” guns in terms of fit and finish. I’ve handled a number of the new ones and I have not been impressed. I am determined to get one from the 70’s with the mahagony wood and deep, rich bluing. There really isn’t any comparison between the old and the new.

The owner of this has had it at least 20 years and he bought it used . Light quick handling. I've used it for rabbits and some bird hunting.

I believe the 28 "Sporting" guns were introduced in the early-mid 90's and are still available in the new and used markets. Remington first introduced the 1100LW in 28 in 1969 and those early 1100LW's (I consider pre-1980) were very well made. I'm definitely looking for one made pre-1980, the earlier, the better.

I was there when he bought it in fact I lent him the $600 so I know it's over 20 years old and probably closer to 30 as I was still shooting the winter skeet league. I haven't done that in close to 30 years. It's a nice gun.....for an autoloader

BTW, thanks Jay for the heads up on that skeet barrel for an 1148. I texted the info to my buddy while we were both turkey hunting Thursday, he called the guy immeadiately and bought it. He was real excited about it.
I had mentioned in an earlier post of this thread that it might be hard to find the exact configuration wanted in the 1100LW 28 ga so maybe he should buy it. As an example, I mentioned a friend who has been looking for an open choked 28ga 1148 barrel for years. Jay pm'ed me with the where abouts of an 1187 skeet barrel with a vent rib. I think you should ask for a seller's commission on it.
just another example of the benefits of belonging to the PGCA.
