Remington V3 fit & finish?

[Blownmotor]

I'm looking into a Remy V3. I'm curious on their quality of their fit & finish? I'm familiar with Mossbergs. I think those leave a lot to be desired in terms for fit & finish. Not looking for Benelli or Beretta quality but definitely something better. Thanks guys

I’m happy with my Versamax, not sure how those compare. I must say, most reliable shotgun I have ever owned, pump or semi.

OP,

I bought my v3 Field Sport in Dec 2018 and have been using primarily for sporting clays. I think v3 has great values for the money. The finishing of V3 is not as great as 1100, but its price should justify. V3 is noticeably soft shooting and swings well. I shortened the stock to 13.5" to fit me. FYI - Remington sells shim kits for V3. Hope this helps.

I have the camo V3. I’ve only had it for a year. Seems to be good but time will tell.

If you hunt, go with the camo finish, no matter who the manufacturer is. They hold up better to the water.

Thank you man. I really appreciate the info. How'd you shorten the LOP? When I checked Remington's website, there was no LOP measurement published. How long did your's come?

Right on that's good to know. Did they add something special to the camo? Planning to use it for waterfowl & trap

The original LOP was 14.25". The gun fitting was done by R&D Custom Barrel in Pico Rivera. Actually, the owner Bob Day did gun fitting for all my shotguns except for my Mossberg 500. Bob is also a calgunner and posts in this board. If you are considering a professional gun fitting, I'd highly recommend Bob.

The "Camo" itself is a very good protective layer. The water/salt does not touch the metal unless you start using break/carburetor cleaners on your shotgun. And yes, IMO for a waterfall gun the camo is the must, not because of the beauty, but because of the protection it provides.

PS. I tried many shotguns and found that V3 is currently the best in it's price range.
Mechanically i'd say it is much better than the much more expensive guns, very soft shooter, eats whatever food you offer, swings great especially 26" barrel for me....., the finish... yes, but do not forget, it is not a $1,500 gun

Dammit now I want a V3! In CAMO!

[AreWeFree]

No clue what a V3 is, but all my Remingtons work perfectly. Fit and finish is more than adequate.

870's and versamax here, versamax is my favorite shotgun much more than my benelli.

My benelli is obviously better fit/finish, but has a weird manipulation quirk where the bolt gets stuck.

Don't tell your wife, she is going to kill me

They are a step up from mossberg that's for sure but are not one of the B guns.
I live my versamax and have thousands of rounds through it. I want a V3 walnut 26" one of these days

[DArBad]

I also want one.....for HD scenario. Should involve barrel cutting and stock shortening.

Eventually, I’ll buy another semi auto for hunting and will make my V3 a defensive shotgun.
