Mike theres a couple of factors that from my view point that determine the worth. Those two factors are condition of the gun and the figure of the wood. If its a 95% gun with nice wood ,it could go for as much as 600, a plain jane wood with average blueing could bring 450. These guns the 20 in particular are hard to find, but, these are the going rates I see at local gun shows

That's the price range I would have thought it would fall into, I have seen a few auctions that have ended that went for a bit more, not one on Gun Broker? Thanks for the input

You are welcome. I might add theyre nice guns but not highly sought after. I think the reason for that is that most guys wanting a Remington 20 gauge for Quail hunting want the 1100 20 gauge LT. Those guns in nice condition easily bring 700 bucks. Also most pheasant hunters want a 12 gauge with 26 inch barrel. With that said the selling of the one like yours might be hard to do. Theres a guy at a local show here in Kansas that has had one for the last 4 years, Hes wanting 500 for it and he wont come off that price, I offered him 450 for it 2 years ago and he wouldn't budge a bit on the price. Im beginning to wonder if he really wants to sell it at all

 

Does it take chokes?

With that barrel length and chokes you might be able to get a bit more out of it selling on a turkey hunting forum. The English stock won't help you but with all the heavier than lead loads out now a lot of turkey hunters are moving to subgauges, but unfortunately there are a ton of 20 gauges on the market that can be had new in that price range. Many turkey hunters, not all by any means, prefer a pump over a semi auto also for the extra safety of a live round not being automatically cycled after the shot. However I still think that could be your best bet to sell outright.

 

I had one with choke tubes. Sweet gun, wish I'd of kept it. With choke tubes in decent shape it has to be worth at least $500.00. The only negative to these guns if there is one, is the 2 3/4" chamber. Limits its use with steel shot.

 

It's a 3" gun and it has the rem choke system. It would make a sweet Turkey gun, but I'm sticking with a 3.5" in a SBE, can't stand pump guns. If you have a minute do a search for one, I couldn't find one, look at the price some have sold for.

The 1187 20 gauge will shoot both 23/4 and 3 inch shells

 

Where are you located and How much do you want for it?

Feel free to pm me.

Correct, my bad. Was thinking 1100 Upland Special, which is what I had. Great gun!

 

There's a 12ga upland special on Gun Broker at almost $1200 with 4 days to go, Cluck, you should jump on that one for $500
