Beretta a300 opinions
Anybody own the beretta a300? what you think about it, I don’t have a hunting shotgun anymore only rifled slug guns and after trading off my only hunting shotgun I’m gonna need something to hunt turkey with. I got a Benelli m1 super90 but the field barrels are hard to find and go for the price of the a complete beretta a300, not looking for anything fancy since it’s going to get scratched up.

Beretta's auto loaders are real good
I have a couple O/U Berettas.... a 686 silver pigeon , and a older S687 Beretta special, Both light weight field guns Beretta make very nice shotguns https://youtu.be/hYuxlD7i-O0

I've had one for a few years now - my review at the link: https://dirtydozensbunker.com/showthread.php?t=126124
I just wish I had the wood stock for it, but that is just personal preference. The synthetic stock works just fine. For a 12 gauge, it recoils like a 20. My shooting is primarily clays - sporting clays or just goofing around someone throwing clays. I took it duck hunting a couple times, and it shot 3" steel shot shells all right. I just couldn't hit anything. Have to use the most open choke you have for steel shot. As far as shotguns go, the Beretta is a high performer at a reasonable price point, and made in the USA.

Gonna have to check one out in person might go to Cabelas so I can handle one, I was thinking either synth black but rather have camo but not paying more than $75 extra for camo, won’t go wood unless it has really nice wood and blueing but it will get scratched up so probably won’t.
The 1301 competition with the longer barrel I think 24”, I also like but over a $1000 don’t see that happening and I’ll be using it for primarily hunting maybe shoot sporting clays |

A can or two of spray paint, and it can be any color you want.
I still haven't painted mine, yet. My can of Alumahyde II in coyote brown lost its gas charge and I haven't bothered to order more from Brownell's. |

I need a shotgun that aims itself.
