Remington Versa Max modifications...

[Bowhunter57]

I made some modifications to my Remington Versa Max and now it's ready for goose season.

• The larger charging handle will help getting the action open with ease.
• The enlarged release button helps with getting the action closed quickly.
• The Sightmark Mini Dot has been a great improvement for faster/easier target acquisition.
• The Patternmaster Code Black Goose extended choke tube produces excellent patterns for long range.
• Cut off the 2 prongs on the shell lift plate. This makes it much easier for quick reloads with or without gloves. I rounded off the sharp edges with a fine file.

The prongs were "fork like" and were constantly catching on my thumb or gloved thumb and was doing some damage to me or my gloves. Obviously, this was slowing things down and creating problems.

I've ran this setup at a few sporting clay events with a Light Modified choke tube and it has been very impressive.

Looks like it would do well in the Turkey woods next spring.

Actually, it patterns tighter and at longer distances than my Mossburg 500 Turkey Special. However, a 20" barrel vs. a 26" barrel makes the Versa Max sit in the safe. I've never had a need to take shots past 35 yards.

Thanks, but I'll be sitting on this one. I had an all black Versa Max, a few years ago and hunted with it a few times. Then sold it for a down payment on a motorcycle. I'm attempting to change my evil ways.

Versa Max is a solid shotgun. I’ve shot them a few times. Kind of a big blocky, chunky feel in my opinion, but they run very reliably and point very well!
