Great gun but I hope Beretta's competition steps it up soon, the price is getting ridiculous.
I personally kind of like the Remington V3 Tactical, however the issues with Remington as a company have seen to it that it's not as popular nor does it have the aftermarket/development that it should.
Anyways, as far as the port on the 1301 goes, opening it up from the factory still probably won't satisfy the competition guys, while significantly increasing the purchase price for them and everyone else.

The Comp models already have the ports really opened up, fairly radically. The Comp model uses a 3.5" receiver though, so would guess that's why they haven't used it on the Tactical model. I agree on the price increases, too much, going to be very close to M4 country now.
There are guns where the factory port is opened up even more than on the 1301 Comp, like the Breda B12i, and yet the competitors will still modify them.
I appreciate having the port opened up a bit, but since I don't compete or perform fancy quad loads, I don't need a radical competition style port job, and in fact having the receiver wide open would make me worry about reliability out in the field.
Your right of course, some actual 3 gun shotguns are very customized. I wasn't necessarily even aware of Breda's until maybe a year ago, and still am not very familiar with them. They do seem to be popular in certain competitive 3 Gun circles though. I'm not going to take up competition at this stage of the game, but I really appreciate that they need to be uber reliable to win with. Nor am I am personally interested in buying anymore shotguns with open sights either, its vent rib or plain barrel only for me, I shoot very few slugs. Hence my interest in the Comp model.

Well the 1301s right now are north of 2K... I'd wager this being on par with the BenM4 pricing... which is ridiculous to begin with.
What SHOULD be happening is everytime a new one comes out, the old should drop in pricing, the new takes over and ads a hun or two.
That all being said, I'd love to get my hands on a Mod2

I haven't any pictures of it without the mount and one SHOT show attendee mentioned that it wasn't removable.
It sits too high to be usable with anything but ghost rings and even then its a lower 1/3rd sight picture, which through an optic is probably going to be barely useful.
The attendee at the show has no clue what they are talking about as its very visible it is a 2 piece design that bolts on, having the optic that far back gives you a bigger view window through it than if were on the OEM pic rail.

Possible, but I doubt it. In the pics & stills there is at least 1 bolt that holds the optic pedestal to the rest of the assembly. See time stamp 1:24 in above video.
The above video also shows the stock without the optic mount, time stamp 1:31
