T Bacus Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I shot a six stage shotgun match today and my last stage was an all slug 15 shot field course. So I loaded my tube with 9 slugs, 2 Winchester and 7 Federals. Then loaded my pinwheels. As I placed the last shell in the pinwheel something caught my eye, there was a 00 on the side of the shell. Further inspection revealed I had grabbed buckshot instead of slugs and i had a total of the two rounds of Winchester for slugs. I put my score card last and as each shooter in the squad finished I scrounged a slug or two from them. In the end I had enought to shoot the stage, but my gun was loaded with at least four different brands and power level loads of slugs. At the buzzer the gun functioned flawlessly and I shot the stage with a mixture of pops, booms and bangs. I love this gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travtastik Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I like here all these stories about how awesome the VM runs. I can not wait to use mine in a match. Had a guy do the something last match. Glad it worked out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I shot a round of sporting clays today with my VM Tactical shooting a mix of shells. Ran flawless. My Beretta shoots a little softer, but it don't hold 10! Very happy with this Remmy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 T Bacus- This is a cool story, but not because of how well your VM ran- because this is a typical example of the people you'll find in the shooting sports. But yes, Remington is building one fine shotgun too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniUzi Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I too am in awe of my VM tactical. I was going to buy a JM pro and couldn't find one so I bought a VM tactical when one popped up. I could not be happier and I've tired to make it choke and malfunction... it hasn't yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmcc Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Sunday I shot a 2gun match and put 75 rounds of cheap Wally World Federals through my "new to me" VM. Not a hiccup and soft recoil, more than I can say about my M2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightshot627 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 T Bacus, I ROed you Sunday it was like a gum ball machine waiting to see what color hull was ejected. Green, blue, clear and I’m not sure all what else. I gave you Remington Managed Recoil and Fiocchi Low Recoil 7/8 oz slug. I don’t know what the blue ones were. Bang, pop, pop, bang, BOOM, pop, bang, BOOM, it ate it all. Then I was dumb enough to take you up on shooting it. Now I want one! Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I went through a 5 gallon bucket of turned in ammo. Old, dirty, miscellaneous junk and the ONLY round that had a problem was a 7/8 oz. featherweight load that sounded more like a squib than a shotgun blast. It stovepiped. Everything else was perfect. Lots of split brass on the ground. And the gun was dirty as hell. How long has it been since Sears sold ammo??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ran my VM at Superstition which is the first major with it...100% flawless. Had a nice talk with a VM product engineer this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Im a firm believer that the VM is on top of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Did the VM Engineer have anything interesting to say that you could share?

MarkCO Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Mick, it was interesting, but I can not share today. Maybe in a few months. I must say that I have been impressed with their openess to hear the reviews and then give them due consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
