 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today We're going to do a range comparison with the Mossberg shockwave 590s versus the remington v3 tack 13 both 12 gauge Firearms that hold five plus one two and three-quarter inch loads the shockwave is not new but the 590s is new because they Re-re-engineered the feed system to accept mini shells and that is a very nice advantage with the Mossberg shockwave 590s the remington v3 tack 13 is semi-auto it has the versamax gas system that is very nice holds five plus ones will not accept mini shells but the rate of fire is very fast much faster than a pump action could ever Accomplish so you say well that's not apples and apples well they are both 12 gauge firearms similar raptor style or birds head grip however you want to say it both approximately the same overall length right around 20 I'll put some text in there because it's escaping me here at the range Both in 12 gauge here. We've got a 14.3 inch barrel with the shockwave the v3 has a 13 inch Then ribbed barrel both with beaded front sights both with with forward straps This has a cross bolt safety right there This has one on top of the receiver on each receiver. They're both drilled and tapped for an optic I don't know who would put an optic on a short firearm like this But they're both pretty special in their own way. There are advantages with the v3 tack 13 Now it was selling for around 90 $900 what I meant to say and this has an msrp of 630 So we're looking at a a price increase here if you can find a v3 tack 13 Let me go ahead and shoot them. It's very muddy out here So i'm not going to set them down, but i'll go ahead and fire each of these with bird loads and then some Higher velocity loads and we can check out the differences The musper shockwave 590s as I mentioned has a bead front sight a fixed cylinder bore choke a sling Mount right right there on the cap of the magazine tube corn cob Four end it does have a fixed strap right there raptor style grip Safety on top of the receiver already mentioned that it's pump action. Let's go ahead and take a few shots I think A lot of people love the shockwave But the adaptability of shooting mini shells is a huge advantage here, especially for home defense Now those were regular Seven and a half shot bird loads and I can feel that come back at me. I'm glad it has this strap I do believe that the shockwave bottles are better than the remington tack 14 Not what i'm featuring today, but the tack 14 it holds five shells of two or three quarter inch And it does have the strap there And other than that they're they're very similar honestly other than the capacity and you know the barrel length here is 14.3 They did increase the msrp on this that doesn't mean that's what the stores are going to sell for people were comparing The price they paid Four years ago with the msrp now and that's not a a fair comparison Nice pump action It you know has the re re engineered feed system. Oh get into mini shells We wanted three quarter inch mini shells you could alternate those you could put a heavy load You could put light loads in I did some range tests with that you may want to check it out They are very powerful for a little shell like that and this would hold I believe it was eight or nine So that's pretty good capacity out of a little firearm like this So the shock wave is new and The shock wave is not new but the 590s is with the mini shells By the way, if you get the adapter that you could use with the old shock wave You cannot use two and three quarter inch. This will also Handle three inch magnum loads as well, but you cannot do that this you can do that So that is pretty nice adaptability with the 590s Here we have the remington v3 tack 13 13 inch vent rib barrel I already mentioned has the bead in front sight a barrel clamp right there very beefy A bit heavier and that's because of the gas system now the semi-auto action with diverse support system is Really smooth it offers less recoil than the shock wave or any other pump action as far as I'm concerned Same bird's head grip. I believe Mustburn calls it a raptor style But you've got the charger right there the bolt release the strap right here that is adjustable That is only for control. You don't need it for Pump action. That's for sure and an overall nice firearm now very hard to find these days very hard And it was selling for right around 900 dollars and people were telling me that they're paying over $1100 The rate of fire And the smoothness is where this will shine All right, so as we're the pump action, you're manually feeding the loads. This will feed on its own And it will feed and fire everything everything from the the cheap bird loads, which is in there right now to the high end of well high velocity magnum loads as well as Many self-defense loads. Let's go ahead and take a few shots. It does have a crossbolt safety I like the mosberg position of the safety I think that's really nice on top of the receiver. Let's go ahead and take a few shots All right And what's also pretty interesting that you can't see is that the shockwave shells are here and The v3 tack 13 are way out there. So that you know, it doesn't mean anything. It's just that It it just goes to show you that it's a strong system that that loads these rounds Let's go ahead and get an unloaded weight with these two firearms. Here we have the v3 tack 13 six pounds and two ounces once again unloaded 590s shockwave five pounds six and a quarter ounces it is That gas system that weighs a little bit more what I'm shooting now is seven and a half yoki bird loads They are high velocity loads. I've got five loaded up in the mosberg 590s Let's check out the difference in recoil And perhaps I'll slow down the video a bit And that may give you a better understanding so that was High velocity which did offer more recoil the one time you heard me say ow Was I put it too close to my face and my thumb came right up and hit me right there So I said ow but that is High velocity, let's check out the tack 13. All right rammington tack 13 Let's see the recoil this offers And that's it now It's enough significantly less So that's a great advantage with this the rate of fire is an advantage Overall life is about the same but the advantage that the shockwave has Let alone being a great firearm Which it is is that you could alternate mini shells and you can't do that with This v3 tack 13 There's the mosberg shockwave 590s up top and the rammington v3 tack 13 On the bottom I told you that the overall length was very similar And you could see right on the table that it is here is The charger the bolt release and a closer look at the barrel. I like this very thick and well built Barrel clamp and there's the look at The the birds head grip and then the crossbow safety is Right there. We'll take a look at the other side Not too much to see there Pretty much more the same, but that is the rammington v3 tack 13. It was really in high demand Big time when it was first released a lot of people said it was too expensive But here we've got the mosberg shockwave 590s. All right, it's got a 1.3 inch longer barrel. There's that corn cob Forend with the strap great firearm five plus one And even more with the mini shells And and what's interesting is you could load them up any which way you choose So if you wanted to go with the three inch magnum loads and then a mini shell you could do that Sounds kind of crazy, but you could and adaptability Is nice as well raptor style grip And overall a great firearm. So both these are fine. I'm proud to own them both Actually, I think they're they're both pretty nice. Actually, I think they're both very nice And they both suit a purpose, you know, there's a range comparison not so much To decide which one's better, even though that's what we do It's to decide which one would best fit you and your purposes You know, if you like the mini shells and you feel those would be good for perhaps your wife or even teenage kids Then definitely the mosberg shockwave 590s would be the way to go. But if you like That fast fire and the less recoil Which I guess they both have an advantage with less recoil because mini shells versus port system You know what I'm saying? It's a tough comparison because both these are great and we're matching up Mosberg versus Remington both amazing histories in the shotgun world If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
