You darn well better keep us in the loop with lots of pictures {hs#StealthyBlagga said:OK gentlemen - you sold me on this gun. I just ordered a 26" model. If I can do it, I will end up with the worlds first tacticool Versa Max :lol:
That's what I'm talking about {hs#dhunter777 said:Got my Versa Max muddy and bloody today. Foggy day on the river, so if you could see them they were shooters. Six shots for three geese, one pair got by without a scratch after two shots. Of the three there was only one shot hole in one breast. Saw no teal but had three pintails land in the decoys and stay for five minutes (I have been hunting the river for over thirty years and have only killed three pintails total). So it was a good day, going to have goosebugers for supper next weekend.

How many rounds would you day have run through your versamax so far, any problems or malfunctions yet? I am very interested in this gun, I handled one at bass pro the other day and it fit me great and the bead was there every tome I shouldered it. The only and I mean the only thing I did not like was when I was working the action it felt a little rough and seemed very "springy/clingy" to me.
Any problems or malfunctions, good, bad, ugly?? Is what i said about the "slightly rough, clingy action" a normal thing for the versamax? My use for the shotgun would be goose/duck hunting, teal hunting, the ocassional dove hunt, and a few rounds of skeet during the off season when i feel like shooting. I would say no more than 5 or 6 cases per year. Now the majority of these will be 3'' and a 3 1/2", oz 1 3/8 to 1/9/16 load. would these larger loads being the primary shell shot through it make up for 5 or 6 cases per year being equivalent to lets say 15 cases per year just on the skeet range?TuJays said:7000 +LA SPECKLEBELLY said:Hey TuJays,

No problems. Only thing as stated before in this 30 page topic is that I wish the bolt release button was bigger and that the soft rubber inserts are hard to get gumbo mud out of.LA SPECKLEBELLY said:Any problems or malfunctions, good, bad, ugly??

Not sure, but i do know that they are "Pro Bore" and not regular "Rem Chokes".LA SPECKLEBELLY said:Thanks for the great thread and honest updates and reports. I will be picking one up on the way home from work today. I shoot a pattermaster, which one do I need to fit this gun?
d....I shot the heck out of it with BBB & T shot in 3.5" using the "Pass Shooting" choke, late winter/early spring with great results on white geese. My time on the pattern board was spent shooting steel #2, 3 & 4's with the #2 patterning better with the Pass choke.....so I just left it in and kept shooting :mrgreen:dhunter777 said:Tujays have you patterned your gun with big steel shot? I have 5 boxes of 3 1/2 expert 1 1/4 BB at1625 fps, and the imp mod tube throws a very good pattern at forty yards. Just wondering if you or someone else has patterned BB, BBB or T shot. All three geese I got Sunday had multiple hits to the head and neck, at 25 to 35 yards. So I have a good combo but always looking for better. The full tube had a denser center but had holes on the edges.
The Federal speed shocks patterned better in my browning but they sold out just before I went to Mound City for snows, so I got a case of Winchester Experts.
