Customer Reviews for Remington V3 SPORT 12 GA 28" 3IN RC2 MOB

I shot this gun for the first time on Sunday for the opening of dove season and not only was everything smooth but the recoil was minimal. The gun and camouflage is also perfect and I think it will be great during waterfowl season. The only issue I encountered was that when I opened the box to clean the gun it had rust that covered the entire inside of the barrel over about a 2 inch stretch on the backend of the barrel. After ours and hours of cleaning I think I got it to a point where it’s OK but that was really disappointing. I shouldn’t have to worry about rust in a brand new gun.

I really like ther service its my first order of a shotgun and i really like everything the prices ,the shipping, i recieve it in perfect condition! Its a pleasure buy with you budsgunshop! Really recomended

I've hunted the V3 in below zero weather and freezing rain with zero hiccups ! This shotgun is a solid workhorse. Also its lite on the recoil! It did come with 5 flush Rem chokes that was good . If your not a 3 1/2 person and the Versa Max isn't for you then you can not go wrong with this shotgun .

Best shotgun I have ever shot.(60 years of shooting).

Love this shotgun , I have had zero issues. And can’t beat the price!!!

I purchased this gun last year and put it through its paces last waterfowl season on just about every weekend I could get on the water. This gun has performed well and cycles any 3 inch and 2 3/4 shell I have ever put in it. Unfortunately, I have also experienced powder/gas hitting me in my cheek when shooting it. I have only noticed this when I'm out shooting sporting clays and might be putting 75 rounds through it. Like others I have read online, this was resolved by applying two U shaped strips of electrical tape at the base of the forend and hasn't been much of an issue since. Recently I decided to ship the gun back to Remington as they offer a lifetime warranty and I'm optimistic that this issue can be fixed. Overall this is a great shotgun that I would recommend to anyone looking for a "do it all" shotgun.

I purchased one Remington 12 gauge V3 before duck season last year loved it so much it swings great and never skipped a round so I purchased another one identical to the first for the spring snow goose hunt they are very reliable and I own many Remington shotguns

I recently purchased both the 28" and 26" versions of the Remington V3. I originally bought the 26" V3 for my son to use for his first waterfowl hunt. I purchased the second one immediately following shooting the first V3. This gun is lightweight and soft shooting and fits reasonably well right out of the box. My son shot only two shots out of my Browning Citori O/U 12ga w/ported barrels after shooting a box or two from his V3, and he immediately handed me the Browning back stating he wanted the V3 because it kicks less. We were using the same ammo. What sold me on getting the second one was when I was shooting trap with it. I loaded up 4 rounds into the V3. Our clay thrower accidentally threw two targets at once then my friend launched another clay target, so that three were in the air. I was able to quickly move from Target to Target with ease and accuracy and blasted each one. A fourth single was thrown and that too was quickly acquired and smashed with ease. The one disappointing thing was that the description for this gun suggested that the fit was adjustable, so I was expecting an included shim kit, but that was not the case. The gun feels a little short for larger shooters, so I ordered a Morgan's adjustable recoil pad which suits my needs. I also added Carlson's Ported Sporting Clay chokes, which are the same ones I use in my Rem 870. The hulls do eject pretty far away, so warn your shooting buddies. We only have 100 to 200 rounds through each gun so far, but another range visit and our waterfowl trip is coming up soon. I'll be shooting some 3" Kents at 1560 fps bird hunting, so I'll have more to share later. Take the extra step and read online reviews about the Remington V3. This biggest take aways in those reviews are that it uses the Versa Max porting system, so it's soft shooting and there's no need to change gas ports when switching ammo. Plus, Remington apparently has made improvements on the Versa Max when they designed this gun to improve it's reliability when shooting heavier rounds in colder weather. To me that means you get a better gun in the V3 for near half the price of the Versa Max. Check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

From the very first shot I’ve had issues with this gun. After firing the first shot it ejects fine and loads the second shell, but it isn’t bringing hammer back, the trigger is just soft also it pulls the third shell right below it’s not staying in the mag tube. I’m currently waiting for a trigger assembly from Remington in hopes it’s fixed. Couldn’t of happened at a worse time as there is 2 weeks left of waterfowl season. Also, when there aren’t shells in the magazine when moving the gun around you can hear the plug sliding around. Not a big deal just kind of annoying I’ve never had that before and this is my third shotgun. Comes off kind of cheap to me

Love this gun. Can’t go wrong the V3 and to top it off, it’s also made in the USA. Win-win! I'm really impressed with this gun. Of all the shotguns I’ve owned, it handles the best and has the lowest recoil of any. It’s been nothing but reliable and feeds shells as quickly as I can pull the trigger. Well done Remington!

This gun spit out everything i loaded in it. It handles and points just like an 870. It has very little recoil and the pattern is very tight with full chokes. My only gripe is sometimes gas from the shell will sometimes get in your eye. The biggest pro is its made in america and not in turkey.

This is a great shotgun. First time out I shot over 150 rounds without a malfunction of any kind straight out of the box. Rounds included a mix of factory field loads, trap reloads and heavy steel waterfowl loads. Handles and points well for me. Seems to recoil less than my 1187. Fit and finish are good. for a camo waterfowl gun. Great price and service from Buds. I would recommend the V3 for anyone looking for a reasonably priced quality American made shotgun.

Super value with rebate.. Gun is reliable and soft shooting. Balances well. Kicks empties out like a Mini-30!(easy 7 feet) Be polite and warn the person next to you. The stock is not as nice, the receiver is a little fatter/weighs more than my M2, but the gun was 1/3 the price. I would buy again. Very satisfied.

Great shotgun at an even better price. Thanks.

Excellent gun- outstanding price- Buds is awesome to work with- highly recommended

I got the one with 28". Remington had this one right. The piece is beautiful! I also like the fact that it can shoot 2 3/4 and also 3". I took it to the Trap and Sporting Clay field on the first day, and glad to say that it had zero issue with cycling thru shot after shots. By the end of the day I put through it 800 rounds of various mixes of Federal and Remington 2 3/4" target load, without one hiccup. The gun is light weight, which allows freedom of swing and tracking target. Recoil was minimal because of the nice gas system. Did not have any shoulder pain after this first outing.

Very happy with my V3. Fit and finish excellent. Gun is lightweight, well balanced and a joy to shoot.

Great shotgun!! Ordered on Tuesday and picked it up at my FFL in western Iowa on Friday morning. Can't beat the price and super fast shipping!!
