Remington Model 1100 Deer Gun 12 Gauge Semi-Auto, 22" Smoothbore Barrel, Factory Rifle Sights
This Remington Model 1100 Deer Gun is a factory-configured slug hunter produced between 1978 and 1984. Built on the standard-frame 12-gauge receiver (serial suffix “V”), it pairs the Model 1100’s proven gas-operated action with a 22-inch smoothbore barrel, fixed Improved Cylinder choke, and factory rifle sights—features that made the Deer Gun variant a purpose-built option for whitetail hunters in slug states. Machine-cut scroll engraving on the receiver and a gloss walnut stock add classic Remington styling to a shotgun already valued by collectors for its limited production run.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 1100 Deer Gun 12 Gauge shotgun
Remington introduced the Deer Gun in 1966 as one of the first factory slug-sighted autoloaders. This example carries forward that heritage with its 22-inch smoothbore barrel and fixed Improved Cylinder choke, a combination that delivers reliable accuracy with Foster-style slugs while still accommodating buckshot.
The gas-operated action is celebrated for reducing felt recoil, making follow-up shots faster and more comfortable than many fixed-breech designs. The cross-bolt safety and classic Model 1100 controls feel immediately familiar to shooters who know the platform.
Factory rifle sights—a ramped front blade and fully adjustable rear—provide a precise sight picture uncommon on smoothbore scatterguns of the era. These sights, coupled with the Improved Cylinder choke, make this shotgun a solid choice for dense-cover deer hunting where quick target acquisition matters.
Visual appeal comes from the gloss blued finish and factory scroll engraving on the steel receiver, matched with a gloss walnut stock featuring cut checkering, a white-line spacer, and a ventilated recoil pad. At a 14-inch length of pull, the shotgun shoulders naturally for most adult shooters.
