Beretta A300 Ultima

I love mine. It's been rock solid besides a loose front bead. Last year i did a skeet shoot then a goose hunt. Put 450 rounds through it between cleanings. Was flawless the whole time.
 
I dont own one but ive shot a few. Great gun for the money. Im not a fan of the kick off system or the rubbery inlay on the comb. Both serve their purposes well but I shoot low gun and often have facial hair. Also I find the kickoff slower getting back on targets when using heavy loads.
That said I have a hard time passing a 20ga ultima in any shop. The kick off is removable

As for function and handling they arent quite the old 391 but they offer alot of good features. Over sized controls and enlarged ports loading and ejection. The stepped rip is nice and the synthetic stock set can take a beating. My 1301 comp has been thru alot and their made of the same material

Mobil chokes are also cheaper if you're a choke collector
 
I only own 2 shotguns A300 ultima patrol and a mossberg 500spx tactical ...I got the ultima for I think $799 usd as I live in U.S. most of time and it's probably the best SA shotty for the price , a well built solid gun. Im not a huge shotgun fan but I love the A300ultima, Id love to have one for when im in Canada but sorta expensive in new india.
 
love my new A300 UP. Shoot great, no jam even with light load, short brass

Handled 1301 comp and I like it however $500 different in price tag is significant for me

I am happy with my A300 UP
 
I figured that I was all done goose hunting a couple of years ago and sold my go to waterfowl shotgun. Since I retired this spring it seems now all my buddies want to go shoot some more geese and in checking my gun room it appears that I no longer have a gun with a 3 inch chamber, how that happened I'm not sure. So I don't know how many goose hunts I'll do but I just booked a crane hunt for fall so I'm in the market now for a 3 inch semi auto and the A300 looks like it will fit the bill for me.
Glad to hear so many positive remarks about the gun so I think there will be one in my future!
 
Another option is a used a400 xplor. Theyre a 3" gun. Wood stocked to. Gently used is only slightly higher than a new a300 ultima unless you're looking for a more all weather gun

I've found my 1301 comp to be the best waterfowl gun ive owned. Perfect for kayak hunting with oversized controls and adjustable length of pull. Works great for heavy coats and a life vest. Simple and easy take down for drying and cleaning. The a300 ultima is a different system but shares alot of features and is offered in 20ga which keeps me interested even though I really dont have a use for it other than to say I have a nice 20ga rain gun

Only real downside of the ultima is they dont come with a case whether or not that matters to you. I like hard cases for transport
 
Yeah the xplor would be fine too but the reason I ask about the a300 is that I have my eye on a slightly used one for a good price. Not that the money is a big issue but everyone likes a deal!
I'm not very well versed in the newer semiautos as I'm primarily a break action guy but my o/u 12 gauge guns are all 2 3/4 inch chambers. I have an A303 in the rack but it's only got a 2 3/4 inch chamber as well and the other semi I have is a 390 in 20 gauge.
Need I state more reasons to purchase another gun???? :)
