Saw and heard a new Remington semi-auto prototype shotgun this week-end.:)
Almost no recoil jump and the guy was cranking them so fast it sounded like a full-auto five shot!
Composite and alloy receiver, something about Benelli's lockup system and a recoil compensating gizmo held into the stock...
Didn't ask too much because it is still supposed to be semi hush-hush (I was told it is the first and only prototype on Canadian soil) but the firearm looked beautiful, really well finished, was very light and balanced beautifully.
I hope Remington gives it the nod.:)

There's an article in one of the current gunmagazines on this gun its called a c-109 or something and I think it is in production by the sounds of it!! It loads and ejects out of the bottom and uses a cover over the action! I saw a price of $1300 U.S. somewhere....I'm just putting it altogether in my memory!! Chances are it will take awhile to get to Canada....It may be changed from the prototype I saw and the price may come down!!
 
Your not talking about the Remington 105CTI are you?

Don't much like the "tile like pattern" on the receiver.....might look nicer as a kitchen counter top or something :rolleyes: For that price range, the Benelli M2 is a much nicer firearm, IMHO.

It could be a different gun, or just they made changes. Seems weird for them to come out with some many new guns around the same time though.
 
I would rather have the Remington rather than the M2, not that I am a big fan of Remingtons, it's just that I prefer the gas system over the Inertia-operated. It might just be me, but I have seen completely opposite of what I have heard - My Remmy 11-87 has had no jams or failures for the 2 years that I've owned it, yet I have always heard that they are prone to failure (Maybe because I clean it after every outing?) and I always hear about how durable benellis and thier inertia-operating systems are, yet at the trap & skeet club there was a benelli super sport demo gun and it was having lots of problems feeding and operating, you couldn't go through a round of skeet without it giving you trouble. I don't get it?
 
Handled the Remington 105cti at Gobles in London today. It's the first one that they have received and it only a week old.

In case anyone is interested in an opinion:

-Lightest 12 gauge I have handled.
-Very positive checkering. Easy to grip. Fatter forend than I would expect but it felt good.
-Shoulders and points just like a Rem 1100 or a G3 (excellently that is)
-Twin bead on the barrel
-Very soft proprietary recoil pad (don't think you will be able to change it)
-Fit and finish looked sloppy (not what you would expect for $1400+)
-Vent rib is carbon, rough looking plastic feeling
-No "O" rings, hydraulic dampening system in stock (not that you can see or anyting)


I would love to try one, but I can't see paying more for this than I did for my Beretta AL391 Urika. There's just no comparing fit and finish.

Being fair, the main reason you buy a shotgun is for the way that it shoots and I didn't get a chance to do that so I can only compare looks and how it shoulders for ME!

Seems pretty damn expensive for what you get.

Can't wait to hear some Canadian reveiws of how they shoot.

Hi black bear. I have a new Benneli super sport. Just put 150 light target rounds through it last week on sporting clays. It functions flawlessly, the recoil is a little heavier than my Rem auto. The only negative point is the extended chokes are marked with stars for identification,but they are very hard to see. One other shooter on my squad has one, and he had no problems. There were at least 3 more s/s that i saw being used that day. I wonder if the problems you saw, were with reloads?
