The 303 is a bit ammo fussy, although the Hull Superfast cycle it without any problems, I have not had 1 jam with the Hull. Of the 2 guns, the 303 is the easiest to clean, but it is remarkably clean even after 100 cartridges through it. I have been using it for clays and stuff the Bigots who frown on auto's. I only recently aquired the 303, it is a 28' sporter model in mint condition. While not performance enhancing, the gun also comes in a stick of attractive walnut.I have both a 303 and 391. The 12-gauge comes with three MobilChoke Victory tubes (IC, M and F). These include a 30-inch barrel, widened rib, front and mid beads, a palm swell on the grip and extended chokes.

Additionally, the A300 Sporting’s larger, heavier stock plays its part in dampening kick, as do shims to adjust the length of pull, ensuring proper fit.įor the money, Beretta makes certain the A300 Outlander Sporting comes with the little extras clay shooters look for on their guns. Optimized to run lighter loads, the gas system also includes a valve system that decreases the pressure of more powerful shells, thus doles out less punishment. The company’s autoloaders have typically won praise for their mildness, and the A300 Outlander Sporting’s self-cleaning cylinder and piston design go a ways to enhancing this facet. And while the new semi-auto runs at a premium compared to the original, at $1,100 it’s not so prohibitive as to knock it out of the running as an entry-level gun for the budding clays enthusiast.Īmong the more attractive aspects, particularly for those newer to the marathon shooting discipline, is a feature common to most Berettas - forgiving recoil. Introduced at the SHOT Show 2018, Beretta has tailored the line's newest addition - the A300 Outlander Sport - to the clays game. And now the Italian-based company looks offer the same for those who live and die at the trap range. The American-made replacement of the 3901, the 12-gauge offers reliability and performance in a relatively affordable package. For most, a scattergun is a workhorse, ready teakettle a Canada honker on the pass, knock a pheasant head over spurs and vaporize clays the instant “PULL” is uttered.īeretta succeeded in ticking these boxes a few years back with the introduction of its yeoman semi-automatic the A300 Outlander. For the rest of the shotgun world it’s a different story. If you generally dress in tweed when you shoot and rarely touch your fowling piece before the Glorious Twelfth, then versatility in a shotgun isn’t likely a concern. Wider rib and two beads help the shotgun get on target.Its heavier stock reduces kick and helps it swing more intuitively.Shim system ensures the A300 Outlander Sporting always has a proper fit.A gas valve system reduces even the hottest loads pressure for manageable recoil.Where's the new shotgun's competitive edge?

Optimized to break clays without mercy, the A300 Outlander Sporting has the stuff to own the range.
