Advise!!! V3 vs Versa Max
February 19, 2021, 11:47:03 PM
Hello all, looking for some first hand knowledge on these two shotguns. I seen that the V3 is 3" only vs the Max being 3.5". I know a lot are going to say it's what fits me best and I know that's what it will come down to, but I want to know what you all have chosen and why. Thanks for any and all advice.

V3 is a great all around gun. I can't speak to how it patterns turkey loads, but it is my favorite semiauto shotgun I have ever owned. I don't shoot 3.5" so ever had a need for the Versamax but it is essentially the same design

Both are great guns, can't beat a Remington. It's all personal preference, and what you will use it for. I would go with what feels best when you handle it. Good luck....

I have 2 VM guns. Got a good deal on the 2nd one. I shoot them well and they fit me. They are good guns. I use them for waterfowl hunting. If I were to buy for turkey, I think I would get a V3 due to weight. I think my VM is heavy but not much of a concern in a cornfield layout blind and the weight helps with follow through on those greenheads and honkers.

I've had the Versa Max since almost the first year the came out. I love mine. I use it for everything from Dove's to waterfowl and turkeys. I shoot clays with it too. I use the sights on the gun and it shoots straight but a little high so if I aim at the head i'm hitting the neck. Never was a sight guy. Bubba

I have a versamax ...its utterly reliable
The gas piston system is basically a modified copy of the patent ....expired..bennelli m4 gas system , but remington modified it for 3.5 chamber
Opinions are like elbows ,my opinion is that bennelli devised the argo gas system so that it would surpass the usmc reliability standards....
The versa has a extremely light recoil ...it is a bit more heavy than some of the other inertia driven
OG .....DRAMA FREE .....

I love my v3. It's the 26" mossy oak camo model. I have used it to bust a lot clay birds. Very soft recoil. Put a set of William's firesites on it and a carlsons longbeard xr choke. Shooting 3" longbeards 5 shot it patterns great.
