Weighing in at approximately 6.75 pounds, this shotgun balances well for sustained shooting sessions. The 27-inch barrel provides the swing dynamics serious clay shooters demand, while the overall length of about 48 inches keeps it maneuverable. Its gas system soaks up recoil, a significant advantage when you’re running hundreds of light .410 target loads in a weekend competition. At $1079.77, it represents a dedicated entry into the niche world of small-gauge sporting clays.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This isn’t your general-purpose field gun. The Remington 1100 Sporting .410 is built for a specific user. It’s for the competitive shooter looking to master the discipline of sub-gauge events in sporting clays or skeet. It’s for the seasoned hunter who wants a supremely challenging and sporting tool for squirrels or upland birds. Perhaps most importantly, it’s an excellent choice for a younger or newer shooter—the minimal recoil and lighter weight build confidence without sacrificing the quality and feel of a real shotgun. That said, its specialized nature means it’s less suited for home defense or waterfowl hunting where larger shot payloads are non-negotiable.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The gas-operated action makes shooting .410 loads incredibly soft and pleasant, allowing for longer practice sessions. The classic walnut and blue finish offers timeless appeal that stands out on the course. Its reliability with target ammo is proven, and it’s drop-in ready for competition—no gunsmithing required to start breaking clays. The .410 bore provides a unique challenge that sharpens fundamental shooting skills.
Cons: The .410 shell itself is a limitation; it has less shot and energy than 12 or 20 gauge, making it less versatile for all hunting scenarios. Ammunition cost per round is typically higher than for larger gauges. The 4-round total capacity is standard but lower than some tube-fed alternatives. Its 48-inch overall length requires careful consideration for storage and transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this shotgun cycle light 2.5-inch .410 target loads reliably?
A: Yes, that’s its primary design purpose. The Remington 1100 gas system is tuned to cycle standard velocity 2.5-inch and 3-inch target loads consistently, which is critical for clay sports. Always test your specific ammunition for function.
Q: Is the stock length adjustable or can it be cut down for a smaller shooter?
A: The walnut stock is a fixed length of pull. For a permanent fit for a youth shooter, a competent gunsmith can cut and re-fit the recoil pad. For a temporary solution, look for aftermarket slip-on recoil pad spacers or consider a replacement stock from brands like Boyd’s.
Q: What chokes does it use, and are they included?
A: The Remington 1100 Sporting typically uses Rem Choke tubes (threaded). It commonly ships with a set of interchangeable choke tubes (e.g., Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full), allowing you to tailor the pattern for different stations or game. Always verify what’s included with the specific SKU.
