Remington doubles are under appreciated vintage shotguns IMO and I have found them to be great shooters and solid well designed guns. Their low grade guns, A grade model 1894 and the K grade aka Model 1900 are utilitarian hardware store guns lacking any embellishment. I read somewhere that Remington was fortunate to have not been sued for infringing on the Anson and Deeley patent. I have an AED 10ga that is one of my favorite fowlers, a gun that can deliver 90%+ plus patterns at 40 yards with both barrels. I also have a 1900 12ga, fluid steel barrels with ejectors. I bought it for a song and it turned out to be the tightest shooting 12ga I have with it's left barrel, 85% at 40 yards. I shoot both guns well in the field, they fit. High grade Remington doubles are not seen often but they are truly beautiful, they command a high price if in good condition and the engraving on them is more pleasing to me than many high grade Parkers. Enjoy your new gun.
