Prior to maybe 1986??? Tons of quality control problems since, poor designs etc and I love remington and own a ton of early ones.:)
 
For the price of a Remington Versa Max you're in the running for a Benelli Vinci and some of the Beretta lines. You just missed a pretty good rebate from Remington that expired on December 31. It would've been $75..

Seems there aren't many here to give a review. Go over to shotgun world and search Remington Versamax. There are a fair number of reviews from people who have actually used them for hunting since they have been released post recall. From all the ones I read, the greatest majority like the gun and report that it functions as they say, and have had no problems. The odd one had minor issues which reportedly were fixed by Remington BDQ. Anyhow, if you check in on that forum you will get reviews from people that own them.
 
personally i havent shot it i like the feel of it , and read some good UN BIAS articles, go to www.chuckhawks.com he talks about it in his article best auotoloaders for 2011. Yes you are in benelli territory but it is their number 1 and only do all NEW autoloader. Benelli and beretta have multiple models so to me there is no comparison with the 1 model and action type that remington has offered. It is also a very similar design to the benelli m4 so remington did not screw that up once the recall was done. Read the article. It is a little heavy 8 pounds or so but if your going to shoot 3 1/2 inch shells it helps. Feels solid to me.
 
I bought one this year and have only one box of magnums through the gun but have well over 1000 rounds of light trap loads through the gun. I have not cleaned it since I first got it and it has not missed a beat. I like the way it handles and shoots.
 
I have one of the good ones. Wait they are all good. Traded a beretta urika 2. The VERSA MAX goes bang every time any load any brand and it's very fast. the camo finish has not faded like the others. The internal parts are stainless and well made. It's slightly less expensive than the others but performs or even out performs all. Made in america great warrenty. PS the recall was a safety reason not a function issue. Just like the smith&wesson recall now in effect. The recall shows that remington does care. If you want info about remingtons you could look at a remington owners fourm ? It would keep the untrue negative feedback out.
 
versa max

I have one. I use for waterfowl, About a year now zero problems, it has seen 600 rounds of light target loads and about two cases of waterfowl loads, Eats anything you feed it. Even 2 3/4 dram loads, very light on the shoulder and easy to take apart and clean. Might be too soon to say but I think the Versa max is a winner
 
Thats nice to hear about the gun once its one of the most expensive semi's in the market,the gun is on my list for purchase,what I want to ask is about the bore if its unchrome plated like all the Remi's,Ive heard something about a nickel-plated bore?
 
Hatsan's come out with their own version called the XTREMEMAX. There will be some available in the country come the end of August at the latest. They'll be about 1/2 the price of the Remington. The barrels are nickel chromemoly lined.
 
i own one and love it, cant quite remember what the recall was for but mine was second run anyway. the gun as advertised is extremely reliable shooting any round you choose, the one feature that i found really nice was the comb has a cheek pad built in which is nice for the heavy loads. it was either this gun or beretta but i didnt feel like coughing up another 800 bucks and im a big fan of remingtons so overall id say it was worth every penny
