This is a tool for the shooter who needs a shotgun that won’t choke when the buzzer sounds and the stage demands speed.
Key Features
- Competition-Ready Gas System: The VersaPort gas system self-adjusts for reliable cycling with a wide range of 12-gauge loads, from light target loads to heavier buckshot, minimizing felt recoil and keeping you on target for faster follow-up shots.
- Enhanced User Controls: Oversized safety, bolt release, and bolt handle are designed for positive, gloved-hand manipulation. When you need to clear a malfunction or make the gun safe, you can find and operate these controls by feel alone.
- Fast-Acquisition Sights: The Hi-Vis front sight paired with the low-profile dovetail rib provides a clean, instinctive sight picture for engaging close-range targets and longer shots on slug targets without obscuring your field of view.
- Durable Green Cerakote Finish: More than just tactical aesthetics, the Cerakote provides superior corrosion and abrasion resistance, protecting the 22-inch barrel and receiver from the sweat, dirt, and hard use of a match day.

Who This Shotgun Is For
This shotgun is built for the competitive shooter. It’s for the 3-Gun competitor who needs a gas-operated soft shooter that runs everything from 1-ounce target loads to 00 buck without a hiccup. The 22-inch barrel offers a great balance between maneuverability for close-quarters stages and the necessary sight radius for precision slug shots. That said, its tactical features also make it a serious contender for a home defense role where reliability and fast handling are non-negotiable. The green Cerakote and oversized controls aren’t just for show—they’re for performance under pressure.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The self-regulating gas system is the star, offering legendary Remington reliability with minimal maintenance. The user controls are genuinely improved for speed—no gunsmithing required to get a shotgun that fits your hand and your pace. The finish is tough as nails, and the sight system is intuitive for fast-paced shooting. At $908.03, it represents a solid value in the dedicated competition shotgun market.
Cons: The 4+1 capacity is standard but may require frequent reloads in some high-round-count stages, though it’s easily extended with tube accessories from brands like Nordic Components. The 22-inch barrel, while agile, may feel short for shooters accustomed to longer bird-hunting barrels. Some may find the green finish a bit distinctive, but look, it’s a tool, not a fashion statement.
