Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 11-87 Sportsman Field is a pragmatic, field-oriented iteration of Remington’s modern gas-operated semi-automatic that was designed to bridge the gap between a soft-recoiling sporting gun and a versatile hunting tool. Built to function with both 12- and 20-gauge loads up to 3-inch length, the 11-87’s gas system extracts energy from the fired shell to reduce felt recoil and improve follow-up shot timing compared with a simple inertia or fixed-recoil gun; that behavior makes the Sportsman Field well suited to the quick swing-and-mount work of upland birds and the occasional fast flush or clay-target practice. The option of 26- or 28-inch ventilated (VR) barrels fitted with Remington’s interchangeable choke system gives the owner an easy way to tailor shot patterns for different ranges and quarry — open chokes for close, dense cover upland work and tighter constrictions for longer flushing shots — while the dual bead sighting arrangement on the rib provides a clear, immediate sighting reference for fast targets where a single front bead can be hard to pick up. The 4-shot magazine capacity is typical for a field shotgun and keeps the balance between hunting legalities and practical firepower, and the matte metal finish combined with a satin-finished American walnut stock and fleur-de-lis checkering presents an attractive but workmanlike appearance that reads as durable rather than delicate. In practical use, the Sportsman Field’s strengths are its handling, versatility, and approachable maintenance needs. The walnut stock with Fleur-de-lis checkering affords a secure grip and classic American styling, while the satin finish helps resist showing small dings and sweat from a long day in the field; the VR rib helps with sighting and barrel heat dispersion during strings of shots. As with any gas semi-auto, the 11-87 needs periodic attention to the gas ports, piston area, and bolt face — carbon and gunk will build up and, if neglected, will begin to affect reliability with lower-power loads — but a modest cleaning routine returns it to reliable function in short order. Pattern testing is crucial: because semi-autos can be sensitive to the exact barrel/choke/ammunition combination, try the specific loads you intend to hunt with at realistic ranges to confirm point-of-impact and pellet density; for upland work a modified or improved-cylinder choke on the 26-inch barrel will generally yield the quickest patterns, whereas a 28-inch with a more constricted choke is a better fit for longer flushes or more open country. For buyers of used 11-87s, check the action timing and gas system cleanliness, ensure the magazine spring and follower function smoothly, inspect the stock for repairs at the wrist, and confirm the barrel and rib alignment — when those items are in good order the Sportsman Field presents a reliable, soft-shooting, and workmanlike shotgun that will serve well for many seasons of hunting and sport shooting.
