I have an original versa max that I shot sporting clays with for a few years. 3000+ rounds through it and it has functioned flawless. Easy to clean and very soft shooting. I just bought a Custom Beretta A400 Xcel with the Kick off unit for sporting clays and it does not shoot near as soft as the Versa Max.
I bet the V3 coupled with some TSS would be one soft shooting turkey killing machine.
I have a Beretta A400 Upland with K/O. It is not as soft shooting as my old Beretta A303 with target ammo. The Kick Off shock absorber doesn't start working until you are shooting stiffer ammo. I have not tried them side by side with 1-3/4 oz loads.
The V3 gets high marks in all reviews that I've seen. A gun set up the way you would want it for half the money is a no brainer. Buy it or give up the source, I call second in line
