[QUOTE="remy3424, post: 1794766, member: 109837"] The Remington 12 gauge auto-loader shotguns (1100 & 11-87) have always been super reliable for me. Cleaning is not much of an issue, if you shoot factory ammo bird hunting, they won't need cleaned very often. I have a V3 also but only had it out once, so I can't comment on cleaning it yet. We are about the same age and I carry the 11-87 as long as I need to. The V3 is a little lighter, someday it might be a welcome change. 26-28" barrels will be fine for about anything, as will the 3" chambers (3" for turkey or geese). You should be able to find a good used 11-87 without a lot of trouble at a fair price (under $600), they made a ton of them. A good V3 won't be much more. Get a 12 gauge, I can't think of a good reason to use a 20 gauge ... maybe if you are an incredible wing shooter, but after a 30 year break, you might not be as good as you once were. Don't worry about the recoil, they aren't bad and you won't even notice any when shooting at game. my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
