$500 if its a 2.75" gun. $600 if its a 3" gun
dammit, I missed one of those locally by 5 minutes. If you put it up in the EE, let me know. I bought a gun "offline" here on CGN and got an infraction. The one I saw locally here was for $400 but it was a bit more used than the one you are describing.
I wouldn't think that the 2 3/4" chamber would be a big deal with this shotgun. The shorter bbl and skeet choke would make it very useable for upland hunting and casual skeet shooting.
What do you mean by "offline"? Please explain.
I hunt waterfowel with 2-3/4" in 12 gauge and I've never felt handicapped by it. This is a skeet choked autoloader, perfectly suited for target shooting.

Probably the best gas operated shotguns ever made the Beretta 300 series. I have a A302 and a A303 would not sell either. Your A300 would make a deadly grouse gun and a very nice 35 yard duck gun. My A302 is IMP CYL and works well on ducks to 40 yards with steel #4's. With well used Remington 1100 models selling for 4 to 5 hundred I have to think that A300 is worth close to six hundred.

A guy put a gun on here asking what the value of it was. I told him I wouldnt pay more than 800 for it. He said he would take 800 if I offered. Not knowing the rule about having to purchase a gun on an official EE ad, I said sure I would like to own it as it is a bit of a historic gun to me. Anyhow I got an infraction for buying a gun on CGN, just not on the EE. I KNOW.........ignorance is no excuse, but I havent read the site rules in over 12 years and I dont remember ever reading that rule. I dont have Alzheimers.......I have "sometimers"

Where can I find a dozen of them at that price? Resell them for what they are worth and I could make enough to buy a new B-gun O/U!

The addition of a 3" chambered barrel is all that is needed to make 300 series guns (that are 2 3/4" chambered) able to handle 3" loads. Barrels from several models will interchange. (AL series, A300, A303, A302 Browning B80) IIRC.

300, 302 and 303 target models have larger ports for the reduced target loads. I wore out my 303 Sporting with hunting loads as the bolt speed exceeded the design. There is a St Laurent Seaway pilot that has used it on woodcock for some 15 years using target loads. Until recently the best berretta gas guns were the 390 (24,500 round without cleaning) and the 391 Optima Gold Sporter (not cleaned since 2003 and used on clays and birds). You are better off finding a 390 or 391.
No idea. Never looked. When I look back I still am glad I got the gun. Wouldn't do it again though.
