Remington Model 1100 SB Skeet-B Grade – 12 Gauge (Mid 1970's)
Built in the Mid 1970's—the first year of Remington’s “M” serial-prefix era—this SB Skeet-B Grade Model 1100 brings together the soft-recoiling gas action that made the 1100 famous with competition-ready wood and a factory scroll-engraved receiver. Its 25½-inch vent-rib barrel is paired with a fixed Skeet choke and a 2¾" chamber, giving period-correct pattern density for NSSA events while keeping overall length nimble for fast target transitions.
Condition
Overall: Good. The blued finish shows scattered scuffs and light handling wear consistent with regular range use, yet retains deep color and an even sheen.
Wood: High-gloss walnut stock and fore-end remain structurally sound with crisp cut checkering; only shallow handling marks are present. The fore-end’s fiddle-back figure is notably above average for an SB-grade gun.
Bore: Excellent. Mirror-bright with no pitting or visible wear.
Function: Gas system cycles smoothly and locks open as designed.
What’s Included
• Remington Model 1100 SB Skeet-B Grade shotgun as pictured (no box, papers, or additional accessories).
From the ventilated recoil pad and 14.75" length of pull to the white-line spacers and pistol-grip wrist, this SB Skeet-B captures the classic 1970s Remington aesthetic while remaining fully shootable today. The fixed Skeet choke and 25½" barrel deliver effortless leads on close-in clays, and the green fiber-optic bead makes pick-ups quick under any lighting. Inside, Remington’s long-proven gas system bleeds off excess pressure, giving this 12-gauge the reputation of being one of the softest-shooting autoloaders of its era—something both seasoned skeet shooters and newer clay enthusiasts will appreciate during long practice sessions.
Factory scroll engraving on both receiver flanks sets this SB-grade apart from standard 1100s, offering tasteful visual appeal without reaching the cost of higher custom shop grades. For collectors, the single-year “M” prefix adds a neat dating cue; for competitors, the gun remains mechanically straightforward, with a rugged carbon-steel receiver and readily available parts support. A cross-bolt safety at the rear of the trigger guard provides the familiar, simple manual block common to sporting 1100s.
Whether you’re rounding out a Remington collection, seeking a dedicated skeet gun with authentic 1970s heritage, or simply want a soft-recoiling 12-gauge that still turns heads on the stand, this SB Skeet-B Grade Model 1100 offers proven performance and period character in one well-kept package. Give it a spot in your rack and let the clays fly.
