Anni Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 As used by Cheshires number one semi auto shooter..................Me Never have a problem with mine but I do clean it after every use and only put Eley 70mm carts through it. Olympics or superbs. No stoppages as yet doing this and I have put a couple of thousand through it. probably be fine with other makes but for me if it works stick with it. The Manager of my prefered gunshop reckon there the best auto ever made. I also have a 391 stonecoat but seem to like the way the a303 shoots, dosn't seem to make so much of a fuss and racket when cycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Bought one new in about 1989/1990, sold it about 3 or 4 years back now but only after I had my 391 for about 6 years. My lad cut his teeth on the 303 and was gutted when I sold it, no complaints, did what it says on the box...do NOT over oil it, your kindness will do it no favours!!

marlin vs Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I've got a 302 since 1987 and it has never left me down, all the 300 series including the breda must be the best S/A ever made no o-rings to break, all metal parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I had a 303 back in the 80's and have found an 'as new' 303 with oiled wood a few weeks ago.It is far nicer to shoot than my 391 but I couldn't really say why,it feels better in the hands. It cycles 28gm cartridges OK and much to my surprise 24gm as well. It is a whole lot easier to clean without all the gas regulation bits and pieces. I think it is the best auto Beretta ever made.

mudpatten Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Had one for fifteen years and never had a single problem with it. It`s worth remembering that, unlike more recent Berettas, the standard 303 only has a 70mm chamber rather than a 76mm. A 3" barrel was available to special order, usually in a length of 32".

petethegeek Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I was lucky enough to pick up an A304 in very nice condition from someone on here a couple of months ago and I'm extremely happy with it. After trying a semi-auto, and deciding I wanted one of my own, I deliberately looked for an A30x as a direct result of comments on this forum and I'm really pleased I did. I have to add I don't hit any more clays than I did with the o/u, but I do enjoy missing them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
