sfran943 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Got my hands on a new VM Tactical and have it a C-Rums getting worked over right now. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffB Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've heard nothing but good things about this gun. I shot the big Tarheel match and remington had their engineers out in the "field" questioning the 3 gunners about what certain features/mods they liked and why. It looks like they took the advice to heart and made some awesome changes for a competition ready shotgun right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It is not ready out of the box. Several things need to be done but it is better than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Realize that was not a production model. Some improvements are highly likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike41 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Benny, What updates would the Versamax need in your opinion to make it right for competition? How much $ ? Just seeing what it would take to make it ready for game? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike41 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Benny, Thanks for the reply. All in all, the gun is not too far off from being good to go right out of the box, just not perfect. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Kind of like raceing a car that is almost good enough against one that is, kinda hard to beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Bird Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Here is a photo of one opened that Benny Hill has done. Even if you are going to just load one shell at a time, its making the load easier under the buzzer. I think of it a a mag well for a shot gun.

benny hill Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You put a large undercut in receiver where the shells enter mag. so if one rises up some it will funnel back down into mag. tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon49erfan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Remington is doing $100 MIR on the Versamax to help sweeten the deal. It doesnt cover the tactical though http://remington.rebateaccess.com/promotion.php?p=46495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhill Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Customer service and the best product on the market is why the Hill family at Triangle Shooting Sports is so respected in the sport. Makes me smile to see our customers brag about our work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofagator Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 How is the factory 3 gun version going to compare price wise to sending one to a smith for the same mods? Do we know yet? - Sent from my galaxy4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
