claycrasher Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Morning people, I'm looking to buy a Beretta semi auto and have my eye on a 302m/c but just wondered what the differences are between the 301,302 and 303 ? I imagine they are little machining differences that don't necessarily make a whole lot of difference to a fun clay shooter like myself. Please let me know you thoughts.

gemini52 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 The 303 will be the best of the bunch,the 301,was a fixed choke model,the 302 has the choke held in with a collar,which i always thought looked odd,the 303s are multi choked,and use the mobil choke system,i have had a 301 and two 303s and found the comb height a tad higher on the 303,they will all perform well,and do the job,but for choice i would go for the 303.

retromlc Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 they are great guns,I had a 303 and I do r4egret selling it,but i think they are overpriced for a 20 odd yr old gun,I bought a Franchi Hunter for 125 quid and it's great,1/3 the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 303 had a longer stock by 10 mm than the others and was a flat butt on 12 bore instead of curved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 3 inch chambers on 303 in think? Nope, you would need to buy a magnum barrel, Personally I would avoid the 301, very fiddley to unload or swap cartridges around 302 choke system is a marmite thing, you either love it or hate it, but you could put a 303 barrel on. 303 is the better gun out of the box but I like the 302 Had 1 - 301 (12g) 2 - 302 (12g), 1 - (20g) 2 - 303 (12g) 1 - 390 (12g) 1 - 391 (12g) and a Fabarm euro lion Whilst I like the 302 I wish I had never sold my first 303, couldn't miss with it, then part ex'd it for the 390 which I couldn't hit a barn door with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
