Remington

I'm getting a deal through a local, but dont know if the price is public knowledge, and actually i dont know the final price yet either, but it will be a 'bit' less than 2.8...

They were expensive when they first come out, and heavy , and it didn't help that there was an almost instant recall
However, they are starting to or rather have had for awhile , very good reviews.
Got to say that one Grunzter posted looks the part.

Yeah thats the one i'm getting, not the comp one though - something about mag extensions longer than barrel just doesnt do it for me.....

I had a few issues with mine out of the box. Broke it down and used a ceramic stone of all the factory edges and it not missed a beat since.

I used one in a multigun stage last weekend. while they are heavy, the muzzle rise was no existence, therefore, I could transition from target to target very, very fast! 6 shots on steel falling plates at 10 meters in under 1.4 seconds.

Starting to think I should move away from the M2 ideal to the Versamax as a result. The problem is the loading port, some modification is needed here to allow better follow through with the hand on the forend stock.

Why wouldn't you use a 20ga for that? Standard six rounds....

Because some stages require slugs and buckshot.

Yep. 20 does that.

Your right and I should have said that but running a 12 is cheaper and easier in that respect.
I would have to order 20 G buck and slugs in special where I live and it would be at ridiculous pricing compared to a 12. No one runs one in my club to split cost with either.
Otherwise I would just run my 20.

Fair enough. A shame that as you could shave some time off.

Maybe. I will give it a go if I can source some ammo.

Well its in NZ - just not in my hands just yet...... I Think this should be in the 'Things you hate' thread....

Monday it will be.

Interesting about the 20G, running cost as R93 mentioned I think was prob the winner for me.

The difference between winning and cost.

Have you got this shotgun yet @Beaker
I see pricing has gone up and only 22" barrels seem available in NZ.

Seriously considering one to complete my 3 gun package. I have a super 90 to use that has gone well so far but I feel a gas gun will speed me up. Shooting clays most of my life and used to doing everything slow and deliberate is certainly limiting me in 3gun style of shooting. 😆 Especially reloading.
