Remington Model 11-87 Sportsman Synthetic 20 Ga, 26-Inch Vent-Rib, 3 Inch Chamber, Mod Choke
The Remington Model 11-87 Sportsman Synthetic in 20 gauge blends the proven 11-87 gas system with a lighter, dedicated 20-gauge receiver. This late-production “TL” prefix gun features a 26-inch vent-rib barrel threaded for Rem-Choke tubes and shipped with a Modified choke installed. Its self-compensating action cycles both 2 ¾- and 3-inch shells without manual adjustment, while the all-weather synthetic stock keeps weight down and durability high. Discontinued after 2020, clean examples like this are increasingly hard to locate.

Remington’s self-compensating gas system reliably manages a wide range of 20-gauge loads, from light target rounds to full-power 3-inch magnums, with no adjustments required. The result is smooth cycling and noticeably reduced felt recoil.
The dedicated 20-gauge steel receiver trims excess heft, giving the gun a balanced, quick-handling feel. Combined with the 13.75-inch length of pull, it fits a broad range of shooters and excels in the field or on the sporting clays course.
The matte black oxide finish on both barrel and receiver resists glare and corrosion, while the synthetic stock and fore-end stand up to hard use in all weather. Molded checkering provides a secure grip, and an integral sling-swivel stud makes it easy to add a carry sling.
A single front steel bead offers a simple, instinctive sight picture. The 2+1 magazine configuration complies with migratory-bird regulations right out of the box, yet still allows a quick follow-up shot when needed.
With production ended, late-run 11-87 Sportsman Synthetic 20-gauges are sought after by hunters and Remington enthusiasts alike for their versatility and proven track record.
