They can be run pretty swiftly:

That's(the vid)loading two at a time per the CAS rules. It's a fun gun for sure.

I do not. I own several original Winchester '97's, but no '87...yet! I have heard of a few issues with the repros, but I don't know if it is any one make, or if the matter has been resolved, etc. The price you noted is probabaly pretty good in general though. An original in even decent shape goes for much higher.

I have to admit it does look really fun to shoot.

Did you guys know it's actually a 10 gauge!? I used to always think it was 12.

Just have to figure out how to shoot right handed and have the HD accelerate.

Most originals are 10GA apparently, but there are early 12's as well. All the Repops, as far as I know, are 12GA and chambered for modern shells of course.

Re: Gotta get one of these!!! 1887 shotgun!

Re: Gotta get one of these!!! 1887 shotgun!
I have a reproduction 1887 lever and 1897 pump I bought for CAS a few years ago. Only shot in a couple of matches before I gave it up. The 1887 can be loaded with 2 rounds very quickly which is required by CAS rules. Both decent guns with no malfunctions. Been sitting in the safe for years. Need to get rid of em.
