remi 1100 or hatson escort

[DANNY.C 20]

as title im looking at buyin a semi and these are the 2 that keep cropping up so just after peoples views which is better

[paulus 26]

the remmington 1100 will take some beating or the 1187 build quality is a mile ahead of a hatsan

[remi700 99]

If your fixed to them 2 the remington is 10 times the gun.

[RobertoS86 3]

I love my escort, havn't tried the remi tho

Dont buy a Hatstand mate you will regret it,the Remington (as stated)is 10 times the gun.

1100 all the way, seen two fall to pieces one when claying the other while out geese shooting.

Personall I'd look for a second hand beretta- no matter how rough it looks it will perform!

Al391 preferably I bought one on here for £360 took it to pieces in minutes, literally full of gunk! Cleaned it never misses a beat! And will shoot any loads.

I have the escort, and it`s been a great gun.

 

Might be for sale though as I`m looking for newer

[Freakmode 1]

Out of those 2 options the 1100 is way ahead. Plenty barrels about too if you need a different length.

If you're stuck with those two choices then the Remington any day, but like Greg says, shop around for something second hand like a Benelli or Beretta, see what you can find.

[The Seeker 3,048]

Agree with the comments above take the advice dont by a Hatsan.

 

Beretta, Benelli, Winchester would be my choice

[rioulike 2]

remington all day long.(i have used them both)

I don't think it is any great secret that I am not a fan of the Hatsan after the barrel blew up on mine several years ago now. The fact is the Hatsan has gone through design improvements and better QA since then, but it still has a long way to go to get anywhere near the Remington.

Same here heard too many bad things about the escort

I've just given my FAC hatsan to a dealer to sell on, no one would take it as part ex so it was my only option, then I had my SGC 870 converted back to section 1. I always found the hatsan slow to load but the modern versions seem a little better, if you get a good one it will be worth it but why take the risk, buy the 1100, I 've also heard good things about the new winchester but have no experience of using one.
