I shot at a skeet event yesterday afternoon with a financial analyst who researches gun companies to buy for a living. So I talked his ear off about it but the main takeaways is that the majority gun companies have excess product right now that isn't moving so they're not doing well. Also, Mossberg will most likely go out of business by the end of next year and Remington will go out of business by the end of this year (if not sooner).

The majority of Mossberg's stuff is made in mexico so if you want one of their products, get it now before the 25% tariff goes into effect.

Remington has gone downhill last 5+ years. I'd like to get my hands on an older 1100 or 1187, those seem to be going up in value and would like to add to my collection. Don't own any Remington guns that I can remember, though maybe one feel behind the night stand lol

It is not a war crime the first time.

I am surprised Remington has stumbled this long. There are so many other better rifles at the price points that do not require a gunsmith to upgrade. Once I started messing with Tikkas I never looked back at Remmi.

I highly recommend you get a Versamax. It's the softest shooting shotgun on the market and the most slept on shotgun. My buddy has a ported and tuned 1100 that still doesn't shoot as soft as my Versamax. I also have my step-dad's 1187 and I don't shoot it as I prefer the soft recoil of the Versamax.

I let that gun finance guy and another guy shoot my Versamax yesterday and they said they've never shot a shotgun with that soft of a recoil impulse. The finance guy is buying a Versamax online because he liked it so much.

It was a private match I shot yesterday (meaning we could do whatever we wanted on the skeet course) and I shot at least ~150+ shells and I don't feel it at all in my shoulder.

Nice, I see they were discontinued in 2020, I’ll have to see if I can find one locally or maybe check out gun broker. Any particular model or feature I should keep my eyes out for?

Just get what barrel length you want. I have a 28".

They also share like an enormous amount of parts with a Benelli super eagle as well.
