Has anyone bought the V3 and what do you think of it
Getting good reviews.?
Ok, I bought it this morning, thanks for the help.:)
How does it go I've got a versa Max it goes well
Haven't had a chance yet,, just mucking about cleaning it up will shoot it tomorrow,
3 hrs man, stacks of time for the panel
Though I agree,It does, however for better or worse I now own a Remington Shotgun.:)
Chokes are interesting
It comes with 4
Rem choke modified in the barrel and three extended ones
One labelled " "Over decoys"
Another ,"Pass shooting"
The last "Flooded Timber"
why would you shoot at ''flooded timber''
Dunno
Guess its the full
says it can be used with steel
How did the V3 go @jakewire ?
If I ever replace my old 11-87 the Versamax or V3 would be tempting...
Doing clays this afternoon if the drizzle clears, will post about how it went after that.
Maybe for shooting beaver.
Well I shot three rds of clays with it this afternoon, as well as a round with the Miroku
Definitely softer shooting than the Miroku and my friends older Browning Citori.
Another guy had a Versamax , though I didn't get to shoot that I got to look it over and it is a bigger gun than the V3 for sure
I have three failures to load with the first box of Eley trap Olympic blues 28gram, just would not quite go into a battery without a slight shove on the handle, However I fired a box of three inch steel next followed by another box of Olympic and had no more problems
was consistently getting only two misses per rd, so pretty happy first up.
The Magazine cut off is easier to use than the Browning Maxus and SKB1900, if fact it is excellent and will save much unloading when in the field.
We're u using the eley shells that have more pressure @jakewire
I think I was using the normal one , however as above after a box of three inch steel no problems with the light load for the last box.
If its brand new it might take a couple of boxes to free up mine did
Here are some cell photos of the mag cut off

can't see this pic :(
look now mate.
looks similar to a versamax
The V3 performed perfectly
I would suggest that anyone looking for a new gun in the Benally/ Beretta/ Browning range that wants it for work,
buy this gun
It is 4-500$ less the others, maybe 200$ than the Beretta A300 and it works
yep Remington don't do fiddly sharp bits.:yaeh am not durnk:
mm improved cylinder?Quote:

improved modified?
skeet?
hows the weight and balance?Quote:

@gsp follower
I like it, the weight is about a pound less than the 11 87 and it balances for me really well
It has a much better trigger than the Maxus [that wouldn't be hard] and swing nicely
I will try and find a two shot mag extension for it,I would want any more as I think that would upset the gun, there is one made now by Nordic components but they will not ship to New Zealand
The chokes are
003 Flooded Timber, 006 over decoys, 009 pass shooting
I'm thinking
Flooded timber - improved cylinder
Over decoys - modified
Pass Shooting - full
Not sure whether this is a simple version for steel where in actual fact in the real world it could mean
Flooded timber - Cylinder
Over decoys - improved cylinder
Pass shooting - modified or improved modified
I guess patterning them against a set of normal labelled chokes with the same ammo would be the only way to tell.
any weight loss would be a improvement gain over the lumpy 1100 the 1187 I heard bad things about so never touched one.
a acquaintance bought the vesermax liked the gun but not the loosish rattly forend??
nope for end doesn't rattle, unless you shake it about when empty
Most new semi auto shotguns need a few rounds through them to free them up as northdude says, maybe 2-3 boxes does the trick.
