08shooter Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 well guys i went to a sporting shoot on new years day.there were only about 30 guns there as it was only a small club and im sure there wer better venues to be at that day with bigger prizes on offer. i had an invite from a mate thats why i went.well i always hear about the beretta 30 series .well what can i say,if you did nt own one that day you were the odd man out.everybody had one,im not joking i had my super x2 there and apart from a couple of o/us the rest were 301,302,303 autos.there was nt even a 391 which i was quite surprised at.i never witnessed any jams during the shoot so when i came home and thought about the shoot i marvelled at the number of blokes which still shoot the older generation berettas.obviously they have to be a strong if not the strongest contender when buying a second hand auto.

paulos Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have an a303 and love it. Sadly though, due to a lack of pigeon shooting land recently it only sees the odd round of skeet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Got a mint 302 from arjimlad from the forum a fair while ago now as my daughters clay gun. It has had the thick end of 6000 clay shells through it and is such a nice shooter that I occasionally press it into service for pigeon and crows. Not one jam (though it is kept clean!) and the barrel never picks up any leading/ streaks. It has the collar type choke system and can be shot without a choke in. My brother has the same gun in France and it shoots slugs for boar with great effect. Made to a plan rather than a price!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakker01 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 i ve used a few, nice & reliable, if not a tad on the heavy side....... there are shotty's as good & lighter, & better balanced, but the 391 also takes some beating !! try a franchi, or remmy1100......

plinker Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 i have a browning b80 which has the same action as the 301 (they were built by berreta) it never ever jams and shoots like a dream, i also had a 303 but i shoot better with the b80 :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
