The front sight on the 1301 is just a hole with the sight blade and a nut on the bottom holding it in place. While the blades protecting the front sight are different in the 1301 and A300UP, the base (sight tower) itself is pretty much the same, the only difference being that front screw that holds the protective wing in place. I am not sure why Beretta went with different front sight designs. It can’t be money related because they designed a whole new part and molds for it rather than just using the same front sight they’ve been using across the board on the 1301s and Benelli guns. It is almost like they changed the design just to make them different. Nut Front sight  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Trying to decide between the 1301 and the A300. With the 1301 being almost twice the price, leaning towards the A300 but, would hate spending $900 + and not being happy with it.
Would want it primarily for HD, but beyond testing with buckshot and slugs and occasionally verifying its reliability, would mostly shoot cheap bulk ammo from Walmart. Still thinking. |

But of course if you plan on leaving it then that doesn't matter at all either. I have two 1301s and never shot an A300 Ultima Patrol but from everything I've read and seen I don't think you'd be disappointed with it. And it still has a nicer loading port cut than the 1301 too. Put a pro lifter in it and you'll have a great shotgun. I paid $1595 for my Mod 2. |

The 1301 is a great shotgun and I love mine but the only real advantage it has over the A300UP is a slightly better gas system, rotating bolt, more durable sights and the ability to use the various stock options hitting the market now. Over all these things are not glaring advantages. The A300UP is a great shotgun and is well tested and has been proven reliable for years now in some extremely harsh hunting conditions that most guns don’t stand up to. The loading port on the A300UP is way better, the pro lifter is an easy upgrade and I wouldn’t be surprised if various companies started producing stocks that fit the A300UP. You really can’t go wrong with either but I’m not sure if the current going price for the 1301 is worth it really. Unless you really, really, want a different stock, I’d say the A300UP is the way to go right now. |

They weren’t very well known yet and they had the bolt release issue that scared a lot of potential buyers away. Beretta and Aridus had a fix for it, so it was a non-issue in only a few months. I paid around $1,000 for my Gen 2 in 2021. I may still buy an A300UP just because I imagine as they get more popular, they will also climb up in price. |

Picked mine up today. Surprised at how light it is. Wow. Also surprised it didn't come with a paper manual or trigger lock? I don't use the locks, but do like to own a manual. I downloaded a PDF off Berettas site. Also, didn't realize mine has the screw in chokes, would have preferred a fixed IC bore, but it's ok. Looks like I will get to shoot it Saturday, looking forward to it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By takdriver: Is there a downside to screw in chokes? I assume mine will be pretty much the same, gray finish receivers. If not maintained they can get stuck. When not in the gun they can get bent. When they get bent and put back in the gun they can cause an overpressure situation in the bore...and given how thin shotgun barrels are, boom. This is one of the big reasons why they aren't liked for police use because people do not maintain them. I recently obtained a very early Vang Comp modified shotgun that was sold through Gunsite, one of these:  Gunsite: Tactical Shotgun for Self-Defense [Part 1/5] Relevant part starts at 2:30 in that video. It had a choke in it...which, naturally, hasn't moved in years. It took about a week of heat, Kroil, and patience to get the fucker loose enough to come out. And I'm still working on cleaning the threads. |

As long as you remove it, clean it and the threads every few range seasons then no. I only clean my 1301s every thousand rounds and when I do, I remove the chokes and clean them. |

Recoil is a subjective thing. Pump guns recoil way more IMO. Gas guns like the 1301 and A300UP are lighter but the gas and action system eat up some of the recoil. The first time I picked up a 1301 I was shocked how light it was. My Benelli M4 is a boat anchor so I guess I expected the 1301 to be about the same. I expected a lot of recoil because of the weight and I actually had reservations about how durable the 1301 would be. Years and thousands of shells later it turns out I was wrong on both accounts. |

The MPS/Acro/SRO work fine with the A300 rear. The mounts cowitness with the factory irons with the other optic options. I assume this is due to the weight of the T1/T2 being too much for the screws. Though I’ve seen plenty of people using the factory pic rail with the T1/T2 and a low mount without any issues. |

The MPS/Acro/SRO work fine with the A300 rear. The mounts cowitness with the factory irons with the other optic options. I assume this is due to the weight of the T1/T2 being too much for the screws. Though I’ve seen plenty of people using the factory pic rail with the T1/T2 and a low mount without any issues. As I mentioned, I’m not using a T1/T2, just the mount for one and a romeo 5. I wasn't really talking so much to you, but more like correcting the incorrect information you had in your message when you said that the scalarworks RMR mount was the only one that works with the A300UPs rear sight. That isn't correct. |

Got an A300UP for my birthday last August, finally got around to shooting it at the range this weekend. It's a pretty fun little shotgun, everybody enjoyed shooting it. I guess I need to work on my loading technique because I got my finger stuck more than a few times loading it lol... where are you guys buying your 1301 pro lifter's from?

I haven’t seen them in stock for awhile now. When they were in stock prices were all over the place, ranging from $60 to $90. Now that they are being installed on the Mod 2 1301s, supply is probably even more limited.

Picked up a 300UP from my LGS for $900 out the door. It is living up to the hype so far for me. I am impressed with the gun (coming from the Benelli world, M1, M4) and I think it is one of the best bang for the buck guns of 2023... period. I have several tactical shotguns and this one has been the best of out the box in terms of price, features and reliability.
Mine has eaten everything I have fed it, even out of the box of crap ammo everyone gives me when they clean out their grandpas garage. It eats everything and it just runs. I added an Esstac Velcro card, and I am going to add a red dot, sling and light to it but it doesn't really need much else to be an effective fighting gun. I'll run it in 3 gun this season and see if it chokes, otherwise it may become my new truck gun. |

The 1301 allows for more customization and has things like an adjustable rear sight and a more advanced gas system but if you don’t care about those things and just want a basic, solid, semi-auto shotgun, the A300U checks that box. |
