Remington V3 now shipping in Canada!!

[Vigilant]

The v3 has a 3 inch chamber and the versamax has a 3.5 inch chamber .

OH that's not a lot of difference.

Thanks Rembolt

This thing is a dying breed without the 3.5 chamber. Why would Remington do that?

3.5" shells are over rated.

Sorry for sounding like a complete newb but what is the difference between the V3 and the Versamax. Other then the price.

While designed around the Versaport gas system, the V3 is a new model and not a stripped-down VersaMax like the Sportsman model. Remington reports they do not share any parts in common.

These seem more like a 1st cousin to the VersaMax vs. a little brother; while the V3 may use a similar gas system to the Max, it has been updated with an extra port (even though only chambered to 3"), for what looks like even more consistent cycling of lighter loads. With a light taper barrel, they are also reportedly even better balanced and pointable than their bigger brethren.

The self-cleaning gas system puts the V3 right at the top of my shopping list for a replacement skeet gun!

The gas system is different with no buffer in the the butt stock as the gas system is all contained in a lil package in the forend. Customizable ability will greatly increase

Might just have to compare both next time im at the gun store.

Thanks everyone for the useful posts.

Hey good folks @ Gravel:

Can you give us a heads-up on vendors who are (currently) stocking these V3 shotguns (in black synthetic or wood) within Canada?
(I know of four, two are out of stock, and the other two have absurd shipping rates)

Please reply, or PM if you wish to avoid favoritism 8)

Agreed. Have had a 3.5" shotgun since they came out. Never fired a 3.5" she'll at a game animal. 3.5" is not necessary and if this is basically the same gun as the versa max but in 3" I'm sure they will sell. Beretta uses this same tactic to sell shotguns a little cheaper than the Cadillac $2k guns.
