Remington VersaMax

That's it's only attribute.......

Just hate to see someone give out wrong information and mislead others. The Versa Max's gas system is its strongest attribute.

Yup I was wrong.. Sorry I'll admit it. Your so awesome! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox !

Guess we got that whole Benelli doesnt have a gas gun issue put to bed.

I bought one last March to replace my 870 super mag. The first thing I did was pattern it for turkey hunting with the factory Xfull choke that came with the gun. That did not turn out the way I would have liked. My 870 with a undertaker choke shoots better at 40 yards than the Versa Max did at 20 yards no bull sh_ _. Than came early goose season and duck hunting after the first 25-30 shots the gun would jam about every 10 or so shots. Cleaned the gun same thing good for 25-30 shots than start jamming again. I toke the gun back and bought a M&P 15 AR. When I toke this gun back they said it was not the first to come back!! I think the worst thing about this is a buddy of mine bought a Rem. 887 ($700 less money) the same day I bought my Versa Max and he had NO problems with his gun all year and shot it as much as mine if not more. So I would tell You to buy a 887 I know I am!!

I talked to a gunsmith over the weekend and he said the reason that Remington now offers a 2 year warranty is because sales dropped so much after the recalls noone was buying them. Everytime I go into a store that sells these I ask what they have in stock and the answer is always the same, we have all of the models in stock. To me it's pretty sad when a company who has been making shotguns for so long really missed the mark with the Versamax. I'm just glad I was able to return mine before the warranty ran out.

i no a guy that works at gander and he says the versa max has more returns to the gun smith to get fixed than any other remington gun. I shoot an 11-87, best investment in a gun in my life

Here is a link with 51 pages of thoughts and experiences with the Versa Max.

I still think the guys original question was about the Remington Versamax. Persnally Im going to be in the market for a new gun in a few years, and this is one on my radar. I hope its a great performer.

Look at it this way, every manufacturer thinks there firearm is the fastest cycling product in the world, no matter what system...But, i will stick to my SBEII, for now....

We were discussing inertia and gas guns.Some stated Benelli's were inertia operated and someone stated Remington was using Benelli's gas system, which is 100% accurate. Your latest post about the M4 not being a gas gun just proves my point further that you do not know what you are talking about. Here is a link that will hopefully explain to you that the Benelli M4 is IN FACT a gas operated gun. Pretty straight forward.

I do not recall any person on here talking about a m4. AND a m4 also does not have a gas operating system. It is a INERTIA operated system. Like a A5, Model 11, 48Al.... And a M4 has twin extractor pistons in the receiver verses a single receiver extractor in a regular benelli INERTIA system. That is why it is more unlikely to have a shell stovepipe in a m4 than other benelli INERTIA guns. I agree with 870man.. When a new A5 come out...MINE!!!!!

So many systems, I don't know which one to buy.. But I will say this, when the new Browning A5 comes out this summer, I might have some trade bait for that gun....

If it fits you, goes bang, is put together in a quality way and drops ducks, it doesn't matter what brand/model it is.

I would take my Maxus over any of the others!
