Big Green often gets criticized for missing the boat but I think they are on the right track with the Versamax (although it is a little heavy for a field gun) and the V3. Make a reliable, lightweight autoloader that fits well and is reliable for under $1,000. Lots of guys can get on board with that and while I could afford a new SBE 3, I refuse to pay the price when I already have a M1 that does everything I need and only cost me $550 used.

I hope they trim some weight off the Versamax as that seems to be its only gripe that I've heard of. That's just my opinion and many may not mind the extra weight.
