Remington 11-87 XCS

Remington's 11-87 Extreme Conditions Shotgun (XCS) is chambered for 31„2-inch shells. The TriNyte exterior finish and nickel-plated internal parts make it a prime choice for the waterfowl hunter.

With its reddish-brown metal and Duck Blind camo exterior, the XCS (shown above) is a true hardcore shotgun. Remington's 10-gauge SP-10 is intended for hard-core goose hunters, and the 12-gauge 105 CTi's gas-operated, bottom-ejecting semi-auto that ejects the empties straight down is great in a small blind. Remington has now made over 10-million 870 pumps, in numerous styles from the value-priced Express to the camo-clad Super Magnum that will handle 23„4-, 3- and 31„2-inch shells.
