I love my waterfowl gun. Its exactly as described and puts the birds down. I have had this shotgun for a couple seasons now and it runs great no matter what I run in it. Love buds customer service and fast shipping as always.

First off I had no problems with shipping or ordering from Buds Gun shop. My gun came in a week which is pretty good. My brother has the original Versamax so I got to see how it performs throughout the years. It is a very reliable gun the only issue he had with it was from using frog lube one year and it started to jam up in really cold conditions. It was a quick fix by thoroughly cleaning it and applying some Amsoil oil. Till this day it has not had any issues of jamming or cycling rounds through it. Now my experience with the upgrade Versa Max waterfowl Pro Edition. It is basically the same gun using the same gas system but has some pretty cool upgrades. Larger bolt handle, larger bolt release button, larger feeding port which is an awesome upgrade, rubber grip on certain areas, and a larger safety that allows you to put your finger on the trigger while the safety is still on and disengage the safety with the middle of your finger with that finger still on the trigger instead of pushing the button with the tip of your index finger and then putting your finger on the trigger. When I went to pick up the gun from my FFL dealer I inspected for any flaws and only saw one concerning area which was in the barrel located about 3 to 4 in from the chamber looked like very minut discoloration/different texture metal to the barrel. I talk to my brother and he has the exact same thing on his Versa Max. As we inspected both of our guns we concluded that this was something that Remington does to their barrels for some reason. The gun is on the heavy side but I like that because it makes me slow down my shots and having smooth shots moving from one shot to the next. I have put some scratches on the camo job but that doesn't bother me considering this is a tool and is going to have some abuse. I have only shot 3 boxes of two and 3/4 clay shells through it and have had no problem whatsoever. It is definitely the lightest recoiling shotgun on the market today. I can't wait to see what it does for the 2018/19 waterfowl season.

I purchased this versamax waterfowl pro ay Buds Guns and I was totally impressed with Buds and the Versamax. I hunt with a professional waterfowl outfitter and he owns 3 of the waterfowl pros. He has owned Benelli's and most of the popular brands. He has not been able to break the Versamax shooting Remington hypersonic 3 1/2 bb shells. Thousands of rounds and no problems. The gun is well made and is forward balanced to help lead your swing. With Buds warranty you cant go wrong!

Okay, before I get into the VersaMax waterfowl pro just know that every autoloader needs to break in before it can be reviewed. I unboxed my VersaMax waterfowl pro and completely disassembled it, cleaned the packing oil off and put her back together with some slip2000 oil. When I took the VersaMax Pro out to the sporting clays range, with 1.5oz 2.75" hand loads, for break in, it cycled flawlessly. I noticed right away that the drop at the comb was too much for my preferred cheek weld. I ordered the be raised comb insert, while at the range. I managed to shoot 84%with the VersaMax Pro even with the comb not to my liking. The first split opened one week after I received the VersaMax Pro. It might have been opening day rust but I missed the first Goose I drew down on. It rained on and off and I stayed on the river for 7hrs. The VersaMax Pro did have one fail to feed but other than that I filled my limit and was impressed with the feel and lower felt recoil. I took the VersaMax Pro home cleaned it, polished the bolt rails, oiled it up lightly, and went out again the next morning. Rain again but this time not one stoppage and I pulled back to back doubles on passing mallards. I'm still gonna work on fitting the gun but for now I'm really happy with my purchase.

This gun points well, and shoots true. My only issue is if it is raining hard or my gun and shells get wet, it turns into a single shot. It will eject, and halfway load the second shell. I cleaned and reassembled everything in accordance with Remington's manuals, and whenever it's wet it won't cycle reliably. Has become my goose dry field gun. All of that said, I still love it. Soft recoiling.

Beautiful gun with very little kick. Shot 2 3/4 up to 3.5 inch turkey loads and did not hurt at all! Shoots where u aim!! Exactly what I wanted.

Purchased the Versamax Waterfowl Pro and used it a couple times this past waterfowl season 2016-2017: Pro's: Definitely kicks a lot less than any other 12 gauge I've shot. I use 3" shells when hunting waterfowl. - Shot approximately 3 boxes of shells through it with no jams - The extended bolt handle is nice - Really like the gun overall, - The pass shooting choke patterns really well under 40 yards (even distribution) and nice pattern - I added a 1/2 inch to the butt stock with no issues (simple to add length) Con's: - I really wanted a 26" barrel option to purchase, but none are available with the waterfowl pro, a little easier to swing and by the time you have an extended choke on the 28" barrel it really becomes a 29". - The chokes are ok, bought some carlsons that offer a tighter constriction which helped out the pattern past 40 yards, after searching on Remington website I realized they offer a flush choke (mod and full), which I plan to purchase and will make the gun a true 28" barrel - the front sight is about twice the size you need, would be nice to have the ability to make that smaller

WOW, this shotgun is incredible! I have shot an old late '70s 870 WingMaster exclusively for waterfowl and 3" loads kick pretty good through it. The first thing I fired through this Versa Max was a 3.5" BB load that did not kick nearly as hard as a 3" round through the WingMaster... and I dropped a goose too! I really like the bead system on this gun, once the smaller metal bead covers the fiber optic in front of it, you're on. This is definitely my favorite shotgun now, and probably will be for a long time to come. Love it so far!

I read many reviews about the Versa Max and watched some video reviews as well. A friend was also impressed with the reviews and being left-handed, decided to purchase a left-handed Versa Max as soon as they hit distributors last fall. When my friend was able to purchase the left-hand version, I got a chance to shoot this automatic shotgun. WOW! I am a right hander, and wondered if the left-hand gun would pose any problems: none at all. It really shot well through 5 rounds of skeet. I ordered a Remington Versa Max Waterfowl Pro from Bud's that evening. Now, nearly 1 year later, I am mightily impressed with the shotgun, and not sure why everyone is not raving about this automatic. I purchased my first shotgun in the 1970s, a Remington Model 1100. I shoot ducks every fall, and apart from a time in the mid-1980s when I had worn out the gas piston in the 1100, and had to switch to a Remington Model 870 for a couple of seasons, I have shot the 1100 exclusively. The Versa Max has many virtues, including less recoil than an 1100. That is with 2 3/4", 3" and even 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge shells, noting that the 1100 will not shoot 3 1/2". Yes, that is right! I am saying that 3 1/2" shells in the Versa Max recoil less than 3" Magnum shells in the 1100. This is down to the recoil pad and the Versa-port gas system on the Versa Max. I have read that some owners have had issues with shooting heavy 2 3/4" shells in the Versa Max, but have not used that load in my shotgun, so if you have a case of these, maybe shoot them in your other gun. Kent Teal Steel works well for teal and 3" or 3 1/2" steel works for other waterfowl. It came with 5 choke tubes and I have found them to be completely serviceable for use on ducks. I have not used the shotgun on small game, but have no doubt that it will shine for small game, deer or feral hogs. It has become my primary shotgun for all my hunting activities and will go to the skeet range with me as I get ready for fall waterfowl seasons. Buds was great to do business with and I highly recommend both Buds and the Versa MAX Waterfowl Pro shotgun.

gun is absolutely PERFECT. the fit and finish on the gun is more than i was expecting. priced pretty high, but very reasonable for a premium autoloader on buds. buds didnt mention what was included in the box but since its "factory new" i bounced it off everything listed on the remington website. Package "FACTORY NEW" includes: A beautiful hard case real nice neoprene/canvas slling choke wrench waterfowl plug best gun lock ive ever seen 2 comb inserts But most importantly 5 CARLSONS PRO BORE choke tubes!!. Sizes: In the Decoys, Lt Mod, flooded timber, Pass shooting, and turkey/predator. all are extended and amazing quality. probably like $200 worth of choke tubes. all of these things are mentioned on the remington website but i really couldnt find any breakdown on buds. but it was ALL included and delivered in pristine condition. 4 days for processing. literally 2 days for shipping to FFL, which was also flawless. 100% satisfaction. if you can afford, defintely purchase
