The Remington 1100 is one of the most successful semi-automatic shotguns ever made, famous for its incredibly soft recoil and reliable gas-operated action. Introduced in the 1960s, it quickly became a favourite among hunters, competition shooters and police units thanks to its smooth cycling and easy handling. Its balanced design and gentle kick make it one of the most approachable shotguns for new shooters, while still offering excellent performance for experienced ones. Over the decades, the 1100 has appeared in countless competitions, training ranges and sporting events across the United States. Trying the Remington 1100 at Churchill Shooting Budapest gives visitors a chance to feel the buttery-smooth semi-auto action that made it a legend — a perfect, cinematic daytime activity in Budapest and one of the most satisfying things to do for anyone wanting a fun and easy shotgun experience. If you want a classic American shotgun that feels great from the very first shot, the 1100 is the one.
