Anybody own/shoot Rem Versa max?

[rooster85]

Hey guys, id like to pick up another auto loader shotgun and im very intersted in the Versa Max. Who here owns one or has shot one before? I'd like to get some pros and cons before i set my sights on it. Thanks guys, Mark

I do not own nor have I shot one, however, when at the factory last year the weapon came up due to the unique porting systems. It was an LEO armorers class but the LE Instructors had very positive things to say about this weapon as an all purpose sporting shotgun.

Definately get input from owners as this is a pricey weapon and as with anything new there can be bugs. I never get the latest greatest thing as gun safes are full of those and the buyers often can not even sell them because the first models were improved upon and guys don't want a first model. A smart buyer watches and waits.

Thanks, I have only heard good things about this gun but I'm sure that there is a few bugs like with anything new. I'll keep looking.

Thanks newshooter, the date at the bottom of that message says its from November of 2010, I figure they've got the kinks worked out by now. I also have been looking at some Berettas and Benelis.

I did not look at the date. I just remembered my local gun shop saying the day that they got one in, they had to send it back. It never made it out of the box.

If you see my previous threads, you will see that I am a HUGE Beretta fan. Their auto's fit me well and they work. Not too big of a fan of Benelli's because they kick me harder than a mule. Especially with 3 1/2" shells. Go with the gun that fits you best or just get one of each!
