Description
The Remington V3 Field Sport NWTF 12 Ga, 26″ Barrel, 3″, Obsession, 3rd is a special edition semi-automatic shotgun built for the turkey woods. It combines the soft-shooting V3 gas system with a dedicated Obsession camo pattern and turkey-hunting features straight from the National Wild Turkey Federation. I’ve put a few boxes of heavy 3″ turkey loads through this platform, and its reputation for manageable recoil is well-earned. This isn’t just a green gun with a logo; it’s a purpose-built tool for a specific pursuit.
Key Features
- NWTF Collaboration: Features the exclusive “Obsession” camouflage pattern, designed to break up your outline in spring foliage.
- VersaPort Gas System: Remington’s self-regulating system handles light 2¾” target loads up to punishing 3″ magnums with minimal felt recoil and reliable cycling.
- Turkey-Focused Build: Comes with an extra-full Remington Super-Full Turkey choke tube installed, ready for tight patterns at distance.
- Durable & Lightweight: The synthetic stock and forend are tough for briar patches and keep the overall weight manageable for long sits.

Weighing in at around 7 pounds, it’s light enough to carry all morning without being so light that magnum loads become punishing. The 26″ barrel is the sweet spot for turkey—maneuverable in a blind or when calling, but still providing a good sight plane and velocity. The price point of $825.12 positions it as a serious mid-range hunting shotgun, not an entry-level plinker. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the dedicated turkey hunter. If your season revolves around scouting, calling, and making that one perfect shot, this V3 is configured for you. It’s also a fantastic choice for a hunter who wants one soft-shooting, reliable semi-auto that can pull double duty. With a simple choke tube swap, it’s capable on clays or for waterfowl. That said, if you’re solely a dove field or skeet range shooter, the fixed turkey-focused features might be overkill.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The recoil reduction is real—my shoulder appreciates it after a box of longbeard loads. The Obsession camo is effective and looks great. It’s reliable; I’ve had zero cycling issues with various ammo brands. The included turkey choke is a valuable add-on. It’s drop-in ready for the season, needing no gunsmithing to get started.
Cons: The semi-auto action requires more detailed cleaning than a pump. The camo finish, while tough, can show wear on high-contact points over time. At this price, some might wish for additional choke tubes beyond the turkey tube.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this shotgun shoot lighter 2¾” target loads for practice?
A: Absolutely. The VersaPort system is designed to self-adjust. I’ve run light 1-ounce target loads through it on the skeet field without a hiccup. It’s remarkably versatile.
Q: Is the choke tube removable for cleaning or swapping?
A: Yes, it uses standard Remington choke tubes (Rem Choke system). You can swap the included Super-Full tube for a Modified or Improved Cylinder for other types of hunting or shooting. It’s compatible with aftermarket tubes from brands like Carlson’s or Patternmaster.
Q: What’s the magazine capacity?
A: It has a 4+1 capacity, which is standard and perfectly sufficient for turkey hunting regulations. You can plug it easily for waterfowl use where a 3-shell limit applies.
Look, if you’re after a dedicated, reliable turkey gun that won’t beat you up, this Remington V3 Field Sport NWTF edition deserves a close look. It brings proven performance and hunter-specific features to the field without breaking the bank. Check its availability on our site.
