lunareclipse02 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thats what I thought. But I was not for sure with the lighting. I figured since it was Remington green it would be brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediTodd Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would definitely be interested in something like that but as someone stated earlier, finding one is going to be the issue. <rant> That really seems to be the issue with anything gun related these days. Of course all of the pro shooters get them and then we want to check them out but it takes 2-3 years before they really become available. That's just plain frustrating. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I spoke to Robbie at SMM3G about this subject, interestingly enough. Robbie works for Remington Defense and they are busy on the LE/Military side of things. It's the Remington "Commercial" guys doing the 3 Gun thing. Remington Defense is separate enough from the parent company that they even have their own separate 3 Gun Sponsorships.... Mick When Remington first contacted me, I asked why they were not getting input from Robbie and Strader. The answer was interesting to say the least, but as far as I understood, they had not been successful in their prior attempts to talk to Robbie.

MarkCO Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah, I was told the same thing Mick. That is part of the "interesting" as I really had no idea. Shot on the same squad with Robbie, Phil and Greg at SMM3G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpipe95 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) It's green cerakote.Very cool! You seem to know a lot about it, did you have a lot of involvement in the project? Edited May 7, 2013 by bpipe95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRicks Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's green cerakote.Very cool! You seem to know a lot about it, did you have a lot of involvement in the project? Only in the idea generation phase. Other guys in my group handled the implementation. I've followed it pretty closely because I can't wait to start using one in competition!

GeorgeD Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 This gun looks good, it will be nice to have an out of the box gun available to folks getting into the game. Can't wait to see one in person. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Had a talk with one of the engineers at Remington working on this on this week. I have no clue on price, never thought to ask. One upgrade still in testing, and not yet mentioned, I sure hope get the "green" light...should make some happy thumbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hopefully not much more than the tactical model. That model is pretty much ready to go with the exception of 2 relatively inexpensive modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbmiester Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is quite exciting, as much as I love my VM Tactical I do miss not having a rear sight and I would love to see a better factory lifter. I hope these are all available as parts at some stage in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHart Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Definitely needing lifter redesign. I would think that will be in our future for sure. Nice to hear that Remington is giving the Versa Max good developmental attention. Can't wait for the walnut furniture and the polished blued steel!

bp78 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I realize this thread is a few weeks old now - has anyone heard anything more on the versamax 3-gun edition or more production info or images of it released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukduk Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yes I would like that also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I just bought a Versa Max Tactical yesterday. It is being shipped to Benny Hill and he has assured me when he finishes it will run like a scaled Abe with diarrhea. TMI yes I know. But I think we all have faith in Benny.

Ken_Bird Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Guy's I have one of these hot little numbers right now. I actually sold my Benelli M2 after shooting it and using for a match or two. I think when you get your hands on one you will see a very simular look to the Benelli M4. For me this is good. I have never shot a 12ga. 00 Buck, Slugs, or Bird Shot that was so soft shooting. This gun just does not jump around and your shoulder will tank you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ken, the "3Gun Edition" is a new offering that is supposed to be out late summer. It was "unveiled" at the NRA show, but not out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I gathered that, but I do not know what they may have done that is not on this one. Its your tube and C-Rums Lifter, and Benny Has done a lot of the custom work. I have shot on the Remmington Skeet Team several years ago with Jimmy Praul from Tulsa. We both agree a factory gun is a great place to start, but still a mass produced item. I hope this new 3 Gun will deliver all that is expected.
