Remington Versamax Tactical 12 GA

[Speedpower]

Anybody here actually own a Remington Versamax Tactical 12 GA or even seen one yet? wanted to buy one, it looks pretty!

[SuperSet]

Remington told me May sometime so maybe someone has seen one earlier. I have the 26" version and want that 22" tactical barrel. Since it wont be available for some time, Briley will have to do the work.

Just came back from Turners and was told that it just came in this morning and it is in their warehouse, I was able to start the DROS on the Versamax Tactical, picking it up on April 14, 2012 at 10:30 am

Sweet, Congrats! I'll let my buddy know that it's now available.

How much was Turners asking?

[Rumline]

Dang that looks exactly like how I have my Benelli M2 set up. Minus the ghost ring sights. I like the compensator on the end, but is that more tacticool or is it actually going to do anything when shooting 12ga buckshot?

Sickness!!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping all along that a tactical/practical version of the Versamax would come out... Let's just hope that 1.) the price goes down 2.) that it's as reliable with a wide a range of shells as they claim.

EDIT: Wait a minute...

The most significant different between the sporting models and the tactical model is that the Versa Max Tactical will initially only be offered with a receiver capable of chambering 2.75" and 3" 12 gauge shotgun shells, whereas the sporting models also chambers 3.5" magnum 12 gauge shells. Remington may have made this decision to shave of the extra weight and costs added by the tactical features.

*Sigh* All that hype about the new, radical gas system design, only to remove the option of 3.5" shells. So we have a reinvented 11-87, without the decades long track record, at twice the price. I hope I'm wrong about this.

FYI Turners has them on their spring sale - 1149.98, so you save about fifty bucks

That's not a bad price and it looks like they're pricing it at the same level to compete with the Benelli M2/M4 and FN SLP. I'd buy one if I didn't already have the longer version of the VersaMax.

I wonder how is it compared to the Mossberg 930 SPX.

[hayaku]

compared to the 930 spx, the versamax is way more gun. it's got all the upgrades you normally find on a competition tactical shotgun. vent ribbed barrel, trigger job, extension tube, fiber optic bead front only, enlarged loading port, enlarged bolt button... the mossberg 930 jm pro tactical has all the features on the versamax and is a better comparison than the spx.

i compared the versamax against a 930 jm pro 24" yesterday at turners. both were nearly identical in everything... all the upgrades to be competition ready out of the box. the 930 jm pro had a barrel that was 1" longer than the versamax was the only real difference i could tell... both had all the nordic goodies assembled by the factory.

no idea how a 930 jm pro runs against a versamax, but i couldn't justify the 2x cost factor of the versamax so i bought the 930 jm pro (putting my faith in jerry and benny that this is a solid performer). 9 more days and i can take pics and do a review for ya

i'm sure the versamax is one heckuva nice gun and would love to own one too... maybe one day i'll have the spare coin for this beauty

The Mossberg 930 JM Pro does looks nice, I also want to know how it is compared to the Remington Versamax Tactical 12 GA, and it's half the price!

How much is the JM Pro?

[hayaku]

930 jm pro at turners was 639.99.. otd was 719.

The Remington Versamax Tactical 12 GA is very nice, you can customize it to how you want, like adjustable Heel Drop and cast, it comes with both a higher and lower comb insert and a bunch of adjustable lenght of pull inserts too!
