About to buy a new shotgun and was coming for any info about them.I'll be using it for mainly deer, trap and some waterfowel. I don't know much about these 2 shotguns but I know I want a Remington just because thats what I've always used and thats what my dad and grandfather used. So any info on these two guns I'd really appreciate it.
I'm looking at a Remington 870 Express and a Remington 11-87 Sportsman.
Hey bigdog - left you a message on the Illinois shotgun post, but wanted to add that the 870 is a real easy gun to break down and clean also 
I have both shotguns but it seems like I take the 870 more often to the duck blind. That firearm can take a huge amount of abuse and still perform flawless. The 11-87 is a fine shotgun as well but won't stand up to the dirt and mud you may find at the duck blind. Both are very reliable. The 870 has never left me down and the 11-87 has only hiccupped on some light field loads but never failed to feed on the magnum rounds. 
870 fan here also but dont forget the mossberg pumps either....very fine shotgun for the money and also very tuff
