    It's a Remington 11-87 12 gauge Super magnum (XCS) Extreme Conditions Shotgun. You can pretty much drag it through the swamp or salt chuck and it will keep on shooting without worrying of it rusting.

    Now that right there is nice toy to have. As a matter of fact just today I caressed a Model 870™ XCS Marine Magnum at the gun store. It’s now on my wish list.

    Good choice Marc.

    Well congrats on the retirement...I think...there are better ways to have to leave! The stones definitely suck, good luck and speedy recovery.
    Nice shotty, I shoot an older 11-87 Premier in the 3 in. Even it has never let me down in the field. Gets a little bogged down after 100 rounds or so on the range/course, quick cleaning and away she goes. Keep eying up one of those magnums though myself .
    All the best, and thanks for your service to our country!!!

    I was thinking the same thing John, have to get out and shoot some skeet before the season open.
