I have been offered a Remington Spartan 100 twelve gauge at a very good price. I am unfamiliar with the Spartan and would like some input as to their quality.

    found some info on this shotgun but nothing current.
    i got to try one today at the range for trap and i did better with this $165 single shot 20ga then my ruger red label 12,

    then i checked and saw it had the full choke in it, WTH. did notice it was hitting the clays hard.

    didn't get to try it with the mod, or improved cyl.....YET.....but i will next week as i bought the little gun.

    info i found most talked bad about fit and finish, this one look really nice wood is beautiful fit is nice , not sure if they were bad when first brought over but i like this one enough to buy it before checking out the thing on the net..WTH.

    anyone else have an opinion on the gun, yes, no, maybe, pass, junk.
    not that it matters much now with it setting over there by the door.

    also not many listed on the auction side, so either there all broken or people that bought them are keeping them.

    crazy thing is i have been trying out a lot of different guns to find that one i do best with, started with a cz O/U, ruger o/u, stoeger sxs, and now this single shot. strange thing is before this gun my best for me was my old mod 51 and my 311 sxs 410 of all things.

    like most of the Spartan series they are good 'working' guns, fit & finish are 'spotty' at best. They are built like a tank.

    Didn't Remington part ways with Baikal and the Spartan line?
