# Gun Lab: Remington V3 Shotgun

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/22/JPPAU5BLXG4OLN2KSS5T2E2Y7E.jpg>)

The Remington V3 is the next-generation auto-loader from Big Green. It operates on a system that's best described as a refined [Versamax](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/articles/guns/shotguns/2011/01/remington-versa-max/>) action--yet it costs less than Remington's flagship shotgun.

I got an early look at the V3 last fall and filed this report.
