Any Versa Max Owners?

Check out the new browning auto5. They are badass

Why does the standard Versa Max sell anywhere from $875 to over $1,200? Am I missing something?

I have a similar problem. Because I don’t get to spend that much on new toys very often, I’m having a hard time picking between the:

• Benelli Montefeltro
• Benelli M2
• Remington Versa Max

I’m leaning towards the Benelli Montefeltro for the beauty of it but my pragmatic self keeps telling me to go with the M2.

The Benelli Montefeltro is too pretty for my needs. Mine will get thrown around and thrashed. That's where the versa and M2 come in. Awesome tools that I don't mind getting the finish messed up on.

If you are recoil sensitive, the VM is for you. QC is still spotty and so the build quality just isnt consistent enough. May be one of those "if you get a good one...", guns.
If you like light, svelte guns that dont feel overly heavy, M2 is it. As a bonus, the M2 is built like a brick sh!thouse and can handle abuse.

In 3gun, VM has its proponents, but M2's are still the king.

930? run away.

On the Versamax quality, is that primarily in regards to the POA/POI issue? If so, does the same fix for the Benelli's apply (mag tube alignment)???

primarily barrel issues, themselves, not mag tube alignment. choke threads not conentric, mis-jigged vent ribs, ****** welds. although trigger components like to break also.

Browning Auto-5 is a beautiful and awesome shotgun; VersaMax will shoot 3 1/2", as well as 3" and 2 3/4".

I didn't realize the versa's had that many issues. Looks like I need to do some more homework. I don't want to drop over $1k on a shotgun and get garbage.

My only experience is with the 930, I sold it and won't own another. It was replaced with an 870 tactical.

The VM I am seeing at ACADEMY is wayyyyyyyyyy under $1k. What are you looking at? WallyWorld had 1 for $778 last week.

The tac version. I'm looking at $1034. however, if i can get a 22" versa for $778 and add an extension tube and different front sight; i would be good with that and save some $$$.
