Our Assessment: The Remington Model 3200 was Remington’s ambitious entry into the high-end competition over/under market during the 1970s, designed to rival established European guns. Introduced in 1973, the 3200 featured a robust, competition-oriented action and was offered in several specialized configurations. Among the rarest are the limited “One of 1000” Skeet models and the equally limited run of 1,000 Trap models, produced as premium offerings to showcase Remington’s craftsmanship and elevate the platform’s prestige.

This example is a One of 1000 Skeet Model manufactured in 1975, chambered in 12 gauge with 26" barrels, and is individually numbered 990 of the 1,000 produced. The shotgun features exceptionally beautiful walnut furniture with rich grain and excellent figure, paired with a finely engraved receiver prominently marked “ONE OF 1000,” a detail that adds both elegance and collector significance. With its limited production, classic skeet configuration, and upscale presentation, this Model 3200 stands as one of the most desirable and visually striking American-made competition shotguns of its era.
