Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gunner76: Just a FYI tip. I wanted an economical adjustable rear sight for my A300 and bought a 1301 rear sight, it fit no problems but I have the sight bottomed out and the gun still shoots buckshot about 3-5" high at 20yds and slugs are about 4-5"inches high at 50yds. The factory sight was about right on with buckshot and elevation was perfect with slugs but the slugs shot to the right 5". I'm starting to think maybe I should just put a micro RDS on it and be done. ETA. How are you guys getting all these good patterns with buckshot? I bought some 9 pellet Federal flight control and I'm getting larger groups then what everyone else is posting and they aren't consistent, sometime they are tight and sometimes not. I remember now why I've never been able to keep a tactical shotgun, never been happy with the accuracy. The positive though is the gun has been flawless with everything I've shot through it. Did you buy a metal or plastic rear sight? |

I'll check in a few days if the metal and plastic sights have the same amount of elevation. I'd try some different ammunition and see if you can back into a zero. |

Anyone got any bright ideas on adaptation for different stocks? I was wondering if a 1301 Urbino could be made to work. Or could a magpul SGA be heavily modified to work in conjunction with an aridus adapter?
ETA: if anyone has an aridus adapter, I have a magpul SGA mossberg stock that I would be willing to modify and risk destroying for the cause. |

Those stocks and adapters don't fit because the A300 recoil spring is in the stock. Same reason why they don't fit the Mossberg 930. |

Anything is possible with enough time and resources. Eventually you'll exceed the value of the more expensive model that allows for those features though. The A300 is a value product for a reason. |

My son and I both bought A300s a few weeks ago. Finally got to shoot them today. About a hundred shells each. Federal slug and 00 to get started. About 50 rounds of mixed field stuff. No malfunctions. The bedside 870 is probably going to get a break in the safe for awhile. We also shot our XR920s about fifty rounds. That's about 350 each through those now with zero malfunctions.

I see Garand Thumb released his A300 UP video a few hours ago and said he has 3000rds through the gun without any issues. He had the same complaints about the QD positioning on the stock and the plastic barrel clamp, Beretta rep said they were trying to keep costs down but are aware of the complaints so maybe they'll make some changes. He did not mention any issues with the weak mag spring, but I'm guessing he doesn't keep it loaded so that might be why.
I have Surefire M640U and a remote switch coming for mine, Nordic mag spring, along with a few Esstac 7rd shell cards. I'm really thinking about adding the Match Saver also, even though I'm shooting the gun left handed I've been able to get fast loads while simulating having a match saver installed. Still not sure what to do about the sling as I want to keep the gun somewhat ambi since both myself and my wife will be using it. Since I lost the attachment point by going with the GG&G barrel band the light will have to be mounted on the forearm so that eliminates a side mounted sling unless I want to move the light over to the other side for RH/LH setup. Might just have to attach it to the bottom. |

Yea I also thought it was weird they went through all the effort in making a comparison video and didn't just use two fully stock shotguns. But I guess they covered the fundamental operational differences.
Anyways I think I've decided to pass on a A300 Patrol (unless I find a super deal some day  ) despite it having a few updated features over a 1301. Maybe if Beretta incorporates them into a new 1301 I'll get one of those instead.

Had some spare moments, so I took my son (4) across the road and put some shells through the a300. I will say with certainty that with 2 3/4 9 pellet buckshot loads, I will never outrun this gun. If I’m not chasing a sight picture, maybe, but if I’m focusing on good hits there’s no way for me to recover from recoil and keep slamming the trigger fast enough to cause a malfunction. For my purposes, it would have been money wasted to go with a 1301 or m4.

Maybe it’s because I’m a 870 fanboy but I’ve found the A300 to be all the semi-shotgun I’ll ever need. Glad Beretta came out with it. Good to see it getting compared to M4 and 1301.I was ready to drop $1999 on a M4 until I seen this sitting in the rack. LGS offered up a 1301 yesterday, I didn’t even look at it out of the box. I’m perfectly happy right now.

I don't see what is wrong with the handguard it has? There are enough spots to attach a light and a sling in optimal positions. Unless they beef the forearm up I wouldn't want to attach anything closer to the receiver other than a match saver because the back of the forearm doesn't really seem that strong. |

Put 50 more rounds through mine this morning while sighting in the RMR. Pleased as can be with this shotgun. What surprised me more than anything was the Remington Slugs shooting out to 100 yards, saw very little drop. At 25 yards Winchester 00 Buck makes an ungodly pattern. Still searching for a brand with a decent pattern. Federal Force and Remington 00 is next.
