I've got a Remington 1187 Sporting Clays myself, I can't fault it. They are fitted with what Remington calls the target barrel, basically a bigger gas port, so it will cycle 24/28 gr loads reliably. Mine even cycles 21gr loads. Kicks like a .22 rimfire with these
One thing about S/A's for clays is they do soak up the recoil, but the action noise and motion can be disconcerning compared to the dead feel of an O/U.
