[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 860241, member: 6145"] i agree with antichrome. the design specs on a remington 1100 and 1187 and guns like this model is because it is an all around gun. size of gun fits standard size man and 28" barrell is common because it works for a lot of diff hunting applications. for a lot of guys this is the type of gun they have carried for years and they like it. a semi will absort more recoil than an o/u. for both pheasant and duck you COULD shoot heavier loads so the semi would beat you up less. whether you need heavier loads or not is debateable but a lot of guys to shoot heavies for duck. if you do't shoot much, recoil can cause problems which simply mean you will miss. a lighter gun is handy when walking all day shooting pheasant. this same gun will work in a duck blind. a heavy gun will really wear you out hunting pheasant and your arms will be so tired and heavy you will hurt and it will be hard to hit the birds. but it will be a good swinger in a duck blind. now if your are young and pretty strong that is a diff story. but remember, you do not have to stay with the first shotgun you buy. buy it try it trade it. u will learn a lot. a good semi can usually be bought for less than a good o/u.
