So I'm always on the quest for American made doubles, and I've got an itch for an O/U, are there any Remmy O/U owners here? What's the good, the bad and the ugly with these guns?

Seems like a reasonable price. Maybe a pair?


So many guns, so little time!

I presume you are referring to the M32, a darling among the trapshooting crowd. It might be telling that the shooters never seemed to feel the need for a Miller trigger.

I haven't looked for a while, but up until five years ago or so the prices always seemed to be pretty attractive. I almost jumped on a very nicely engraved four-barrel skeet gun for $4500 , and have kicked myself once or twice on account of it.

As to the GI example, it is a stunning gun to be sure, but I suspect one could replicate it a couple times over for the price.

I was thinking something newer, 3200, 332 or 300.

I love 3200s. I currently have a field grade with 28 bbls that I use for waterfowling on nice days. Theyre heavy, robust, strong as an ox. I wouldnt even think to carry it upland hunting, its just too heavy. Waterfowling, dove hunting, pigeons, etc. is what it seems to be built for. Pat Laib in Minnesota is the guy that does repairs, updates, upgrades and has a ginormous inventory of parts. Do some research...there were many updates and variations throughout the years. Most clapped out 3200s youll find were basically shot to pieces. Hundreds of thousands of rounds shot to pieces. Correct me if Im wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that it was the first American designed gun to win Olympic medals in the shotgun events?

The 32-hundy has the best safety/barrel selector ever devised imho. Love it and have no idea why other o/us havent borrowed it.

I dont know squat about Peerless, 332 or 300 Ideal, so cant help you there. All I know is that none of them stuck around very long and I dont know anyone that has extensive experience with any of those models.

I currently have three Remington 3200s.
Both skeet and field grades. One with barrel sets.

They are heavy and wonderful
Do look for the dot between the O/U and Serial number
on the bottom of the action to insure factory upgrades.

What will you use the 3200 to do?
I use mine mostly for skeet shooting and
expend many thousands of rounds per year with them.

Except for the 3 inch Mag model, they are not rated for steel shot.

P.S. Added and I also called Remington way back then
and got the answer NO STEEL

https://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=879215

I would stay away from the 332 and 300 guns

I shoot steel through my field grade....a lot of it. My 3200 digest 2 3/4 HV steel loads without a hiccup. I had the chokes opened to IC/Mod.
Same rules apply to almost all modern guns made from high strength steel....no steel shot through chokes tighter than Modified.

The 3200 is a beast.

I shoot a well-used model 32 skeet on pen-raised pheasant and chukar. Reliable, but awfully heavy.

From the link you provided...
Seems Remington agrees with me...

Remington response:
Response (Ron) - 06/11/2007 11:13 AM
Dear William,

Thanks for contacting Remington Country. Yea you can use steel shot in the 2
3/4 shotgun, Remington only recommends not shooting steel in extra full choke
tubes or choke tubes marked lead shot only. If you use Improved, Modified or
full choke tubes they only state not to use larger then #2 steel shot in the
full choke tube.

Remingtons second response:

Dear William,

Thanks again for contacting Remington Country. I addressed your question this
way because you did not say what choke your barrel was, this way you have a
complete answer on all the chokes.
