Thread: Versamax - any good?

Hi all
Santa didnt bring a new shotgun so am looking at a Remington Versamax which I have on trial. I have tried it once and seems okay, we were using low power skeet loads on pigeons and it failed to load twice, which could be due to being new and a little tight. I am keen to know about reliability on duck shooting etc. Any views appreciated.
Happy new year

I have one and it eats everything I feed it, from 28g 7.5's to slugs...
There are some old posts on here and many others have also had very good experience with them.
If its new, maybe a strip down & clean may not go a miss.

mine eats anything,and very low maintenance. I'm not sure if there is anything else on the autoloader market I would swap it for even though there are more expensive guns out there

Mine eats all. Really soft to shoot, comes up on shoulder really good for me, only one mod done to it and thats the carrier - welded a bit more metal into it to stop it trying to rip my thumb off, and very well done by a guy in our club.
(versamax tactical)

Never had a issue with any loads.

I would suggest a good cleaning, followed by shooting it lots and not cleaning......

Copy of the Benelli M2 so can't go wrong, at 3 gun guys called them a Renelli

Are you sure about that? The Remington's are gas operated the Benelli's are inertia operated.....

Why not buy a Benelli M2 I've just picked up a new one for under 2K retailer price matched a competitors price, which is really close to the price of a Versamax.

Mine eats my thumb😆
That lifter is in the post on its way to you mate.

I like my tactical version. I only have a 3/4 choke but had no trouble dusting some clays at normal ranges when we had a play on the weekend.

Haven't shot all that many rounds thru it and have had one minor stoppage with it. Since it has had a good clean it has been sweet.
Soft shooting gun with heavy loads.
I would buy one for a field gun no worries.

Lol,
Good as. The man is tee'd up to weld it. I'll get him to do the same as mine, but you will have to trim it to fit yours. Took me about 15mins with the dremal to get it sorted.

Going to sort some clays soon'ish, to have a crack at. I'm, from past experiance, not very good....... But i enjoy it - and i like the blue crayons to

Crayons, meaning i'm a bit of a idiot ......

He didnt mention a price, i'll ask him what he wants. Big thing is timing, he likes to stack up a few small jobs, so could be a while. If it looks like that, i can send you a spare carrier(thumb ripping monster....) if you want

When i got mine, the barrel had small issue, and under warranty a new one was ordered, but i could keep on shooting with the first one while waiting (3 months?). The new one arrived and fitted, and had a few issues for maybe 10-12 rounds, and no issues since

Nice to shoot, from 2.5in 3 gun loads, to slugs.

All good, no hurry at all. I have one in the gun and one gimp gave me off his Smelly Benelli.

I really like my Versamax Tactical and got it straight from the agent. However within the first 10 shots, I busted the operating handle which flew 6 feet away from me. So sent it straight back to the agent and had it fixed and some other work was done for free (changed the lifter and reduced the spring in the magazine). Right now it flies through different types of ammo. It can and will chew through 8 different types of shells in the tube.
