This Model 1100 uses Remington’s proven gas system, which vents excess gases to reduce felt recoil and speed follow-up shots. Hunters and clay shooters have relied on this design for decades due to its reliability and easy maintenance.
The 26-inch steel barrel balances quick handling with solid pointability. A ventilated rib aids heat dissipation and offers a clear sighting plane capped by a single steel bead front sight.
Pressed checkering on the gloss walnut stock and fore-end provides a secure grip while preserving the clean Field Grade look. The 14.0-inch length of pull pairs with a hard-plastic buttplate typical of pre-1987 production.
Factory scroll engraving on the receiver adds a touch of visual appeal without compromising the straightforward, workhorse character of the Field Grade series. REP proof marks and an AV barrel date code confirm U.S. manufacture at Remington’s Ilion facility.
