Feets / Collection / My build First purchase Beretta A300

Post image

Got my pal two weeks ago and after doing a lot of research for a semi auto 12g I landed between this or the SX4. But due to the sale going on and overall fit of the gun I decided on the beretta A300!

One of my buddies gave me a lot of shit for buying this since he feels it’s the “Ferrari of guns” but I thought for the price point it was worth the purchase.

Question is where the heck can I actually go and shoot this now? I live just north of Toronto and want to get some target practice in.

This gun is great, don't listen to the haters. I have a 400 and its the best shotgun I've ever owned.

So happy to hear this! I heard some reviews online have some warranty issues but the videos were also 3-4 years old so I had some concerns but I’m
Hoping I love this thing so far just the feel is amazing super excited to go shooting

Yea man you'll love it. I upgraded from a Remington 870 and the A400 feels so much easier it's like cheating, even when shooting 3.5" shells I can go all day and not have a sore arm.
The only thing I would recommend is when you first take it out start with a box or two of heavier 3" loads if you can to work it in a bit. I tried with 2 3/4 target loads the first time and had a couple issues feeding but haven't had any problems since then and I've taken it through bush, water and mud, trap shooting, indoor ranges etc. over the years.
