Remington Model 11-87 Premier Light Contour 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun – 28" Vent Rib Barrel, Factory Engraved
The Remington Model 11-87 Premier Light Contour blends the proven 11-87 gas-operated action with a lighter, forward-balanced barrel and deluxe Premier-grade appointments. Factory scroll engraving, a gold-plated trigger, and high-gloss walnut furniture give this mid-1990s–early-2000s shotgun the upscale finish collectors look for, while the self-compensating gas system and Rem Choke versatility keep it fully practical for the field.

- Remington Model 11-87 Premier Light Contour 12 Gauge shotgun

The Light Contour barrel removes unnecessary steel forward of the handguard, trimming weight and improving swing without sacrificing the 28" sighting plane hunters prefer. Its vent rib carries a single front bead for straightforward target acquisition.
Remington’s self-compensating gas system reliably cycles both 2 ¾" and 3" 12 gauge loads while softening recoil. Combined with the shotgun’s 14" length of pull and soft recoil pad, it remains comfortable over extended sessions.
Premier-grade walnut stocks wear deep-cut checkering and a high-gloss finish that complements the full-coverage floral scroll engraving on the blued steel receiver. A gold-plated trigger adds a final touch to the upscale trim.
The receiver’s PC serial prefix places production in the mid-1990s to early 2000s, a period noted for Remington’s fine walnut selection and crisp factory engraving.
With Rem Choke compatibility, the installed modified tube can be swapped for other constrictions, making this 11-87 suitable for upland birds, waterfowl, or clays.
