After purchasing some VersaMax Tacticals from prairie Gub Trader I was impressed at the packaging and the effort they put into making sure that they were in perfect condition. I'm heading to the range to give them a try. They are impressive I'm certain there are varying opinions but if I'm happy that's the main thing. There is however one thing to be aware of that probably won't affect to many people but it I just want to pass it along so there are no surprises. Remington's $100 rebate on VersaMax does not apply to the tactical version, seeings that their made in New York makes you wonder, but I'll leave that to the conspirists lol. But I won't lie I didn't check before I purchased them to be sure, and in no way do I direct this to prairie gun traders. Overall I'm very happy but thinking the rebate would have been nice.
