I have recently found a Remington 3200 trap gun that has had all the Remington updates for sale. My question is are they a good trap gun and do they shoot high? It has 30 inch barrels full and imp. I'm shooting a bt 99 now that does shoot flat. Would I be better off just sticking with the bt or trying the 3200? Just looking for some advice. There's no way to shoot the 3200 before buying it. And I don't know anyone how has one to try one out.
Are Remington 3200 s a good trap gun?

I have a couple of 3200’s that my daughter and I shoot Doubles with.
I have never had any kind of break down and I have shot mine about
12,000-15,000 Times. They have great triggers and can be made to shoot
whatever you want them to. I would recommend anyone to buy one if it
has the updates and you like it. They usually sell fast if in good shape.

I had a few Rem. 3200 and think they are flat shooting . Friends have some and I am with Border Bandit ,some can kick the daylight out off you ! Btw: Bt 99 are to lite for me .If I was in the market for a new gun the new Browning Cynergy probably would be my choice of new "toy" . It all depends on the disposable $$$ , or go " wild" and > K 80 Crown Grade ( 40 K + )

I've known a couple people who had absolutely incessant and unresolved trigger problems.

In 1976, at the Grand, I bought a brand new one for the princely sum of $450. Happiest 14 yr. old on the grounds that year, worked for two summers to wrangle up that much cash. Gun beat the daylights out of me until Dad changed the stock, and added a reducer. Shot that gun for years, even won an 1100 with it at Montgomery's Fall Handicap. Shot at least 100,000 through it, no breakdowns, no cracked forearm, no wallowed out firing pin holes, no cracked stock etc. Always cleaned it after every outing and kept it well lubed. They must not have been too bad, Ray Stafford shot one back then with an unsingle barrel with great success. I still have that gun and take out out occasionally just for the memories. Funny thing is, my Dad hated them, he had a K32 he used for doubles and flyers. He was constantly working on my cousins to keep it running (Never cleaned, never oiled, used it for flyers with 3 1/4, 1 1/4 oz. loads). After my Dad passed away, I found three of them in the back of his safe, a 1 of 1000 Trap, a Live Pigeon model, and a 3" Magnum. Pretty good testimonial from a guy that despised them.
Semperfi,
Would you happen to know if those guns with the trigger problems had the updates? That was one of the problem that lead to the updates I believe. The triggers in the updated guns are very straightforward, crisp and quick. And as already mentioned, Laib's is the go to. They've forgotten more about 3200's than most people know.

I have a 3200 Competition skeet gun that I got from an AMU shooter. That makes it what, 40+ years old? It has been around the block but very well cared for. No problems ever. It shoots flat like a skeet gun, so I can't comment on a trap-configured version. The trigger is good, not Perazzi good, but good. I didn't know that the recoil is bad. I'll have to pay more attention.

Thank you for your post. I believe I'm sold on the Remington 3200. I love my 1100 and 870s so I'm sure I'll like the 3200.

I shoot a 3200 field that I got in 1976 to hunt ducks. I still shoot skeet with it after steel shot came in. I had the 30in barrels opened up to skeet. I have shot may be 50,000 shells in it and the only trouble I had was a crack in stock and Laibs fixed that.
Great guns. Very little trouble from the ones I have owned. No trigger problems. Try to find one that was manufactured with the Remington updates incorporated at the time of manufacture identifiable by the presence one cross pin through the receiver at the top rather than two, one top and one bottom.

The first one I had bit my cheek badly. Put a Griggs Redirector pad on it and no more sore cheek. That was 15-20 years ago, and my son is still shooting it today. I have had several others since, and still have 2 at present, a trap model and a field grade. I have never had trigger problems and until today, never heard of anyone else having trigger problems with this gun. If it doesn't fit you reasonably well, or it's too far below your budget, look for something else.
