I started my hunting with a plain Jane 16ga model 11 that an uncle gave me.

A gracious benefactor loaned me a 16 ga. M11 when I was about 11 yrs. old. He had previously loaned me a .410 S X S at age 8, and "swapped it out with me". He owned a plantation that adjoined my Grandad's farm, where my parents and I lived (I still do), and would have numerous dove shoots to which he would invite Grandad and me. I really clicked with that M11 and in a year or so was outshooting most of the grown men on the fields. I can vividly recall the men leaving the field and moving to a shady area where they would sit and watch me shoot.
Though I killed my first quail and dove with the little .410 that M11 made a shooter out of me. I shot it until my 16th birthday, when I received a new 12 ga. from my parents, and returned the M11 to our friend. I remember it, and many of the dove shoots I used it on, with great fondness. As Bob Hope used to sing, "thanks for the memories". |

I was at my little local shop today and they had a 16ga Sportsman there on consignment. Cursory look seemed like real good condition; tag said $900. Don't know anything about the guns so don't know if that's a good or bad price. Not interested myself.

Based on watching GB auctions I’d say $900 is at or slightly above what they’re bringing online .

Was there yesterday and I was wrong; price was $500. Don't know anything about the gun; can provide shop info if anyone is interested.

I recieved a photo copy of the entire Remington Society article on the Model 11 authored by Tipton . Quite helpful to say the least .
