Remington Model 1100 Field Grade 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 30" Vent Rib, Rem Choke, Factory Engraved
The Remington Model 1100 Field Grade shown here pairs the brand’s proven gas-operated action with a 30-inch vent-rib barrel threaded for Rem Choke tubes. Factory scroll engraving on the high-polish receiver, fleur-de-lis pressed checkering on the glossy walnut stock, and the desirable “V” frame suffix that denotes a standard 12-gauge, 2 ¾-inch chamber add collector appeal. Early adoption of the Rem Choke system and a rifled choke currently installed make this shotgun notably versatile for both smooth-bore and slug applications.

The 30-inch barrel features a ventilated rib for quick sight alignment and is threaded for the Rem Choke system, giving the shooter flexibility to tailor patterns from doves to waterfowl. A rifled choke is currently installed, expanding options to sabot or rifled slugs.
Remington’s gas-operated action is known for soft recoil and long-term reliability, traits that made the Model 1100 a staple in competitive clay shooting and the field alike. The 2+1 capacity adheres to many hunting regulations while keeping the shotgun streamlined and well-balanced.
The receiver wears factory scroll engraving that complements the high-polish blued finish. Combined with the gloss-finished walnut stock and pressed fleur-de-lis checkering, this Field Grade reflects the classic styling of first-generation Model 1100s.
Serial number suffix “V” confirms a standard-frame 12-gauge built for 2 ¾-inch shells. This configuration, along with the early Rem Choke adaptation, places the shotgun in a desirable production window for collectors tracking Model 1100 evolution.
