Jerod I would only buy older remington guns. I love my 870's and I had a sweet 1187. I bought a super mag 1187 last year. I shoot it well but it does not cycle very consistant. I went back to my sbe 2. Probally just keep shootin it. Has more recoil than a gas gun but it goes bang every time. I have a beretta 391 that is a cycling machine. I saw the versa max and thought it would be a good gun. Than I saw the recall.Sticking with my sbe. I will take more aspirin for the recoil.I have no use for a gun that does not function. I hate buying single shots that look like auto's. Some times they act like doubles, with an extra shell you can wiggle in the chamber. I just want to hunt and shoot. My dog wants to go get ducks.
My sbe got rust on it the first year. I have quit using a case for it. I just don,t worry about it. Lay it in the boat toss it in the truck. It will handle the abuse. I have shot thousands of rounds with it. ( 5000 or more, I have a couple addictions)The metal is better than a stoeger. I had a stoeger sxs. It cracked.Poor metal. Sent me a new one, that was my first and last stoeger.I did have 2 the replacement left when it came home. Next gun will be a o/u. Quality not price is the importance. John
