I have an opportunity to buy a Beretta A301.

My understanding is the 301's have a fixed choke. I assume it's a mod choke.

What would an estimate be for having a smith fit it for a set of screw in chokes.

My main use would be upland, but wouldn't mind the flexibility for duck, deer, steel shot,

Thoughts?
 
Forget it. Use it as is or buy something else. The 301/302 has a chrome lined barrel, and is difficult to work with. I had a 20g 302 and inquired at several places about it, and the only one that would do it was Precision Arms in King City. They said you need thin wall titanium choke tubes, and their price was around $169 to thread the barrel and $89/choke. So 3 chokes and the work will run you close to $500 with tax.

If you only buy 1 choke, you might as well just have the barrel bored out to imp cyl.

Take the $$ you will spend on the gun, and get a Rem 11-87 or a used O/U.
 
Can't remember for the boring, best to contact them.

FWIW my 302 shot well with the fiixed modified choke, even at skeet. I'd leave it as is, or buy different gun.

I picked up a Baikal 20g O/U for skeet and upland hunting, its not a high end gun, but works well and brings down the birds.:)

Until this opportunity presented itself... I was looking at a Remington SPR 220 SXS 20ga. which per my understanding is a re-badged Baikal. For the $$ the SPR220 seems pretty hard to pass up.
