The Remington 1100 was introduced in the early 1960s and became one of the most recognizable gas-operated autoloading shotguns in American sporting use. The Remington 1100 Classic Trap reflects that long-running platform with a focus on clay target performance, smooth recoil impulse, and familiar handling. It remains a respected choice for trap shooters who value proven design, soft-shooting manners, and a broad legacy of parts and support.

Soft recoil helps maintain sight picture through long trap rounds.
Gas operation supports steady, repeatable cycling.
Classic 1100 handling feels familiar to many clay shooters.
