  Remington 1100
  Following World War II, new firearms took advantage of such wartime technology as gas operation. By siphoning off some of the propellant gasses to work the action, these guns spread out recoil and provided reliable cycling of various types of shells. Though not the first made (Sears’ High-Standard Supermatic was), the 1100 was Remington’s breakthrough gas-operated shotgun. It was widely embraced by clay-target shooters for its soft recoil; hunters enjoyed its excellent performance in the field. In the lineup since 1964, the 1100 led the way for all the gas-operated semi-autos we enjoy today. (About $225)

  The fluid movement of a favorite shotgun to a winged or furry target; the versatility to hunt ducks and geese in the morning and quail in the afternoon, or even drop a buck with a slug; this is what makes a shotgun a beloved addition to our outdoor life.
