The 1100 is less expensive then a400 Xcel w KO. How well does the recoil system work on 1100 competion compared to the Xcel KO ? Is the a marked difference in quality to justify Berretta price?

Question

Randy I. · Answer

I just recently bought the Remington 1100 comp and the recoil system is super, shooting 12 ga loads was like shooting 410 loads in my o/u tube set. I have a Beretta 391 sporting and 5 Remington 1100s (including the 1100 comp) I also worked at a skeet range that had berettas and 1100s as rental guns and while the 1100s needed more frequent maintenance (cleaning and o rings) they were easier and less expensive to fix when they had problems. Remington would send us parts Beretta always wanted us to send in the gun. The only draw back (for me) with the Remington is that I could not get it with an 28 inch barrel and it does not come with a hard case like the berettas

David with the Nickel Teflon finish on receiver and all internal parts for smoother cycling this 1100 should be one of the most reliable and smoothest cycling shotguns ever. The Stock includes recoil reducing system and SuperCell recoil pad. With the adjustable comb and cast adjustment options and full set of five Briley (Target) Pro Bore Choke Tubes: skeet, improved cylinder, light modified, modified and full. it should be in the same ballpark as the Beretta at a much lower price.
