Wholesale Sports was closing and was clearing out stock at discounted prices. I thought I would grab a V3 as a coworker had to send his Super Black Eagle in for repairs and he bought a Versamax to tide him over the waterfowl season. Long story short, the SBE was in the shop a long time and must have been a hangar queen as it still was a problem. Meanwhile the Versamax kept chugging along, no problems.
I did not buy the V3 as the synthetic stocks were very angular, almost sharp edged to my feel. It seemed like the stock was designed for futuristic looks and not comfort. I knew I would always resent and hate the stocks so I left it. There is nothing wrong with a 1100/11'87/870 stock, why couldn''t Remington just use them? Very disappointed. A couple of years later I won a Beretta A350 in a raffle. Sold it and bought an A400 Extreme Unico.
If the V3 feels right for you, I would buy it. I think Gerry uses the SBE as backup to the Versamax he likes the Versamax so much.
