Customer Reviews for Rock Island Armory VR60 Tactical 12 Gauge Shotgun

So much fun to shoot! It refused to eject for a bit but after some cleaning and lube, it shoots flawlessly! I really love this shotgun!

Fun to shoot-aggravating when it jams. Doesn’t like cheap or light loads.

Solid semiautomatic 12 guage shotgun for self defence.

Pretty nice shotgun with the right ammo. Not super reliable unless using highbrass hot loads. Basically a toy, wouldn't want to put my life on it going boom. Tried the locking the bolt back for a month trick, seemed to help some. Wish I'd have gotten the vr80.

I’ve owned the gun for a while it’s never jammed just be sure you don’t use soft rubber shells as the action on the bolt is very very strong and will likely bend or break cheap rubber shells.. before my first cleaning of the gun I shot over 1500 rounds very reliable firearm

Very pleased with this shotgun. Have several nicer walnut stocked fancier shotguns but just wanted one for home defense. So far this one eats everything I’ve run through it from light target loads to high brass buckshot with no failures whatsoever. If you’re looking for a semi auto defense shotgun you won’t have to worry about this one being reliable. Also buds was great to deal with as usual

Thoroughly satisfied with this shotgun, I researched it and am well satisfied with my decision to purchase quality built.

Just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(hasn't been fire yet)
Great solid shotgun, easy to take down and clean. Feels well balanced, charging handle comfortable to grasp and operate. Magazine release clean and easy to operate also. Very aggressive looking polymer frame feels solid and adequate.

Haven't fired it yet but I have a black one as well. I was told in the question and answer by someone that obviously didn't know what they were talking about that this one had a polymer fore end and it doesn't. Like my black one the fore end is made out of aluminum.

got this for a christmas gift to self. took it to range and put about 35 birdshots through it and 3 00 buckshots. I love this gun had no misfires. brace yourself for the power. waiting on another company to send me my 19 round magazine. I see why so many people complement buds now. order both at same time. Buds sent my Gun fast.

This is very good Shotgun

This product is Amazing! Cycles anything I have thrown at it, even the super light European loads that I can’t get any other gun to cycle. If your wanting an AR style, reliable shotgun, this is the one for the job, money not even being an object. More expensive automatic shotguns do not cycle this well.

I love the weapon I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet can't wait

The only problem i had with this shotgun was one of the shells got a little stuck when chambering but fixed itself immediately without me doing anything. I only have 100 rounds of buck shot and 50 slugs through it so far but it is surprisingly light for it's size and the 9 round magazines don't look too big in the gun. They actually make it look pretty badass, too bad you have to order those separate. Also surprisingly easy to clean. All shots i took were 2 & 3/4" shells. Although this gun is chambered for 3" shells too.

The gun itself is amazing, very well ballanced good action, just works well. I have had no issues
Buds is so slow on delivery its silly, this gun took over 17 days to come in. Poor cusomer service in trying to resolve the situation.
Buds has good prices, but lowsy customer service and delivery times.
The gun gets 5 stars but buds customer service gets 1 star.

Nice gun. Comes with 3 choke tubes and 2 pistons for 2 3/4" + 3 " shells. Easy switch out. Well worth the money.

I decided on the VR60 based solely on weight, length and capacity. I have only fired one five round magazine of buckshot through it. It functioned perfectly. The trigger was decent enough and the sights needed no adjustments straight out of the box. I like it!

Very nice shotgun excellent home defense weapon no problems at all would recommend it to anyone

It's really what I expected I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but it's really really nice I'll continue to shop again and again thanks Bud.

This is the best shotgun I've ever had , as far as tactical goes crossed with hunting !!! i read the commits and i'm sorry to say somebody must have gotten a different VR60 than i did ! i love this gun straight out of the box i have shot at least 300 2 3/4 # 7 1/2 through it haven't even cleaned it yet over a 4 or 5 mouth period , not 1 single problem at all . No feed or jams . on my choke tubes i have markings 1) full 2) modified 3) cylinder . and it comes with 2 round things ( sorry forgot the names of them ) that you change out from a 2 3/4 to using a 3 magnum shells . thats a must .. as far as sights go , can't commit cuz i mounted a BSA red dot .. and i can hit my target at a 100 yds with in a 6 moa . red dots are not made for long distance and slugs are not rifled bullets as that goes .. i also own a 18 inch H&R 12 GA.... A 18 INCH Mossberg 500 and a 28inch Remington 870 wingmaster , all pump shoulder bruising beast ! shooting this VR60 For fun is exactly that FUN ! good luck in choosing a gun , i'm going to buy another VR60 for my daughter for Xmas.

Flawless performance! This thing is AWESOME! Do not pay attention to the negative reviews. If you use the proper ammunition it will cycle and fire accurately. This VR60 is one kick in the pants shotgun! First time at the range I used Federal 12ga 00 buck, every shell cycled perfectly, recoil was firm but not bad at all and at 15 yards I shredded my target. Watch the youtube videos out there to see how to use the VR60, especially inserting the magazines. It came with two five-round magazines. I was able to find extra magazines online in both five and nine round capacities and both worked fine. The nine round magazine is huge, a good 30%+ larger than a 30 round AR magazine! Keep that in mind as it may be tough to shoot prone with the nine round magazine. One other tidbit. It comes with three chokes but they are not labeled as to the choke style and the owners manual leaves you hanging, I wanted a tactical choke and after research and measurements I determined the VR60 uses Beretta Benelli Mobil style chokes. You're welcome.

I’m not impressed with this gun. The sights are way off. I wouldn’t be surprised if the barrel was crooked. The shells jam all the time. I have yet to finish a magazine without at least one jam. And this is with small loads. Not large. No excuse. Poor gun and I don’t recommend it to anyone.

The gun itself seems to be fine but the magazines I'm having trouble with. This is the first time I've had any issues with a purchase. For some reason I can't get more then one shell in a magazine. It's like the follwers or spring is blocked or binding. I call armcor customer service but have never t gotten any answers yet.
