I wanted a mudder for my duck hunting and I've been impressed with Remington's new V3. The first time out with no "break-in" it cycled everything perfectly from 3" steel all the way down to some very light 3/4 oz powderpuffs. Recoil is very light. The gas system is different as the valves are located in the chamber area and the number in valves in action are dependent on the length of the shell. The gasses are much hotter right there, so they basically blow clean on each shot. It's not as refined at the $1200+ gas guns, but for my down and dirty duck hunting it hits all the right buttons. It's new, so I can't say any more than I have, but I think the design is clever and it has the potential to be a good one.
