Versamax vs M2 for 3-gun

[Jamie]

I really like my VM Tac. anyone put a pistol grip on one.?

Pistol grip stocks suck for action shooting IMHO they do nothing for you at all

I agree. Taran Butler is about the only top guy I know using pistol grip. Definitely not good for load 2 or quad loading.

Anyone seen the new VM competition? already has all the mods you guys are talking about making.

Yes, but chambered for 3", not 3.5"

Yup seen it. They are coming out with all kinds of versions for the Versamax. Even Zombie Green! lmao

 

[cbabes]

Yup that's the catch. Even though it's the same receiver that takes 3.5 shells the barrel says 3".

 

[Hammin]

Remington web page lists it as 3.5"

Besides that's just a barrel swap lol.

 

[adamg]

Yeah but the VM Tactical is also marked as 3" so no difference.

Just an update. I grabbed some 2.5" shells to see if the Versamax would handle these puny things. Ran like a champ. From what I have been seeing it may be the only 3.5" semi that handles such light loads reliably.

How many of those 2.5's can you get in that Versamax? Ghost loaded and all.

It adds one shell in the tube with every size change. Only 5-3.5", 6-3", 7-2 3/4", and 8-2.5" so with a ghost load and one in chamber a 10 round start. In IPSC though a loaded start with one in chamber cannot pass 9 total for Standard division though. What this really helps is being able to do two quad loads.

Thanks for this cbabes. Could be the deal maker.

Where'd you get the 2.5" shells?

 

[cbabes]

Got mine at Williams Arms. A little pricey as they are high brass. These are common in Europe.

What is the velocity on those cbabes?

How much for a flat?

Not sure it was $16 per box of 25 as I just wanted to buy enough to check feeding. Hopefully a better price can be had buying a flat.
