Same here. I've been waiting for a 3" wood stock version of the versamax system to come out and reach a decent price since way back when the versamax came out. What has it been, 5 or 6 years now? Apparently I missed it by a few weeks.FishingBen said:So where is the best deal right now? I'm game to try one with a $100 rebate.
I just purchased a walnut V3 at one of the closing Gander Mtn stores two weeks ago. In store price was $449, and Remington started a $100 rebate that same day. $349 for a walnut V3 after rebate....
If enough people call or send emails asking for shims Remington could be persuaded to change their minds.RandyWakeman said:Remington has no plans to offer shims at the moment.
If Remington feels that manufacturing shims is something that customers want, and, that customer demand will add sufficiently to sales to offset the costs they will manufacture shims. Heck, if enough people convince Remington that painting the guns purple will boost sales enough they would look do it. Remington is in the business of selling guns, they will do whatever is prudent to accomplish that end. If no one contacts Remington letting them know that they want shims Remington will never make them.RandyWakeman said:They didn't, and Remington did change their minds . . . deciding not to pursue shims due to lack of interest.
Randy, I'm not asking for anything further from you. Your quote from Remington leaves room for them to reconsider their present policy. If there is sufficient consumer demand they are free to reverse their current position on the matter. If "seeing very little need" changed to "we see sufficient consumer demand" then their policy would likely change, that is all I am suggesting. I for one sent them an email expressing my desire for shims. I think others who also want shims should send Remington a message letting them know.RandyWakeman said:Stock Shims for the current time are not moving forward, we are still seeing very little need when compared to what we originally thought would be requested - - - Remington Management, 8/25/2017.
That's the word, straight from the top, and I have nothing further.
Well that didn't last.RandyWakeman said:Stock Shims for the current time are not moving forward, we are still seeing very little need when compared to what we originally thought would be requested - - - Remington Management, 8/25/2017.

Don't let that run you off. There is some really useful info on SGW. Occasionally you get chaff along with the wheat but that's to be expected in any group.FullandFuller said:Well that didn't last.RandyWakeman said:Stock Shims for the current time are not moving forward, we are still seeing very little need when compared to what we originally thought would be requested - - - Remington Management, 8/25/2017.

Didn't take me long to remember why I and many others quit sgw. Ads and blowhards.
Same here. Randy was able to provide an answer faster than Remington's own customer service dept. did! :mrgreen:FishingBen said:I'm appreciative of Randy's insider information. It helps me make plans for purchasing and whether to wait or buy now.
This goes back three years by now, and it started with a rode hard and put away wet pre-production V3.M1ke said:Same here.

Looks like I'll have to shoot it more and see if I can adapt.
You quit?.................I guess many snowflakes need to retreat to their "safe place".FullandFuller said:Well that didn't last.RandyWakeman said:Stock Shims for the current time are not moving forward, we are still seeing very little need when compared to what we originally thought would be requested - - - Remington Management, 8/25/2017.
