Has anyone managed a direct comparison to a Remington V3 Tactical?
The 18.5 V3 Tactic is 6+1 and comes in either VR+bead or rifle sights.
The 22" V3 Tactical Comp is 8+1 and is VR w/ low profile XS sights
The V3 is heavier but has lower recoil and less muzzle rise. I've read claims that it has less recoil than a 1301 w/ kickoff.
I haven't shot either but the V3 handguard is fatter and less pleasant in the hand. The 1301 feels great in the hand.
The 18.5" 1301T somehow holds 1 more shell than the V3 despite both tubes being flush with the barrel. This makes no sense to me. How does the 1301 squeeze in an extra shell in the same amount of space?
V3: possibly QC issues, but lifetime warranty
V3 let's you buy multiple barrels at a reasonable price. 1301 has minimal options at stupid prices.
