This discontinued Remington Model 11-87 Sportsman Synthetic Cantilever Deer Gun is a purpose-built 20-gauge slug gun featuring a 21-inch fully rifled barrel with an integral cantilever rail that keeps your zero when the barrel is removed.

The 11-87’s fully rifled 21-inch barrel is optimized for modern sabot slugs, delivering rifle-like accuracy from a compact platform. The cantilever scope rail is machined to the barrel, so the optic retains zero even after the barrel is removed for cleaning or transport.
Remington’s gas-operated action softens felt recoil and reliably cycles both standard 2 ¾-inch and magnum 3-inch 20-gauge shells. A fixed three-round tubular magazine keeps the profile streamlined for fast follow-up shots in the deer woods.
The black synthetic stock and fore-end are weather-resistant and include molded checkering for a steady grip, sling swivel studs for easy carry, and a rubber recoil pad to tame kick. Length of pull is a comfortable 13.75 inches, making the gun manageable for a wide range of shooters.
Weighing approximately 7.5 lbs, this slug gun balances well for off-hand shooting yet is light enough to carry all day. The TL serial prefix confirms 20-gauge production, and Remington ended Model 11-87 production in 2020, adding collectability to its proven field performance.
