Beretta A303 Twelve Gauge Autoloading Shotgun

Beretta A303 Parts

If thereis such a thing as an all-round shotgun, the Beretta 303 qualifies. The last ofthe 300 series autoloaders to have wide distribution, the follow-up 304 isalmost never heard of. The 304's release coincided with the 390 series, and fewif any made it to the United States.

Thetested example is a three-inch chambered 26 inch Mobil-choked model, theBeretta date code (AS) indicating it was manufactured in 1987, proofed with an18.3mm bore corresponding to just over .720 inches. The gun weighs 7.25 lbs.and has a very good field trigger, breaking right at 4.25 lbs. The ventilatedrib on this model is a bit wider than the spindly “6 x 6 “ ribs on some morerecent Beretta's, at 7mm.

Despiteits more traditional gas action with no secondary gas bleed, this 303 had notrouble cycling 1 oz. loads on up, having a moderate bolt speed and a moderate,ideal ejection distance of 5-6 feet with these loads. The same was the casewith B&P F2 Legend 1-1/8 oz. shells. The 303 has a magazine cut-off,integral with the forearm as opposed to earlier models that had a lever on theright side of the receiver making for a cleaner appearance in this treatment.The 303 is shim adjustable for drop (45 - 65mm), but not for cast and drop assome of the more recent shotgun releases.

This 303shot essentially to point of aim, with the patterns well-centered if a coupleof inches high, both typical and often desirable for hunting guns. Recoil,despite the lack of a recoil pad (the 303 is finished off with a plastic buttplate) can only be considered mild.

There issome magic in the 303, both for what it is and for what it is not. You mighthave noticed more and more plastic parts on shotguns and complicated forearmnuts and so forth. Not so with the 303, as the gas system is all steel orstainless steel-- no technopolymers used. The 303 exhibits a slightly forwardweight bias, as is common with this genre of alloy-receiver autoloader. Thereceiver is clean and uncluttered without gratuitous cheap engraving attempts,the trigger guard is still alloy, not plastic, and is slightly enlarged fromthe previous 302 model for gloved use. The 303 still has a pistol grip cap; itis little detail features like this that are often left off more recent models.Its walnut stock is the real deal, without any fake grain enhancement dips orfilms. All of this makes for a good, honest, simple autoloader in both form andfunction.

Armedwith a couple of pipefitter's brushes, scrubbing out the gas cylinder andpiston takes only a minute or two. Cleaning the gas piston itself in Slip 2000finishes the task. A drop of two of Montana X-Treme gun oil and you're set.Like a few other things, once it becomes habit it takes longer to describe itthan to actually do it.

In myexperience, Beretta 303 12 gauges do shoot just a tad high, making them a goodchoice for skeet, flushing game, just about everything out of the box. I likeflat shooting guns for trap, but if you want a more of your pattern above POIat a particular distance, a little experimentation with shims so you see a bitof rib will likely get you there. As 300 series barrels are plentiful andreasonable, you can use the tested configuration for skeet and upland, forexample, but pop on a 28 or 30 inch barrel for sporting clays or trap if thatis your preference. The T & S AL-2 hull catcher works well with the 303 fortrap, so you won't be slinging hulls if you opt for peppier, gassier loads.

Whetheryou are using a Beretta barrel as supplied, or pick up a B-80 Invectorscrew-choked barrel, both are chrome-lined for a little extra corrosionresistance and a little easier clean-up. The barrels are approved for steel andother harder no-tox materials, there are all kinds of aftermarket chokes readilyavailable, so use for waterfowling or in other no-tox areas merit no greatconcern. Rifle-sighted factory 22 inch smoothbore slug barrels are alsoavailable, so for short-range deer hunting or for part of a fast-handlingmoderate recoil home defense plan, the 303 might fit in there for you as wellwith a thirty-second barrel change. There isn't much to consider as far as longterm maintenance; perhaps a mainspring change every eight thousand rounds or sowould be the only thing that you might consider if bolt speed and resultantejection distance tells you your 303 is being worked a bit harder afterextended use. A deep-well 19mm socket makes buttstock removal an easy event.

Beretta A303 Shotgun Review

With someof the more recent models hovering at the 7 lb. carry weight or just below, the303 at a quarter pound heavier or so isn't the lightest on the market. It iscertainly a lot more fun to walk with than a portly 1100 or a steel-frameCitori, but there are lighter guns. We all have our own views on what a quarterpound means at the end of the day. The Beretta 303 is out there in 20 gauge aswell, though, with one example I have here shaving off a full pound off fromits bigger brother to 6-1/4 pounds on the nose. So, there are always moreoptions.

There never will be a perfect all-roundshotgun, as everyone's individual ideas of “all-around” can be wildlydivergent. The 303 has better build quality than most autoloaders, more steeland alloy and far less plastic. The 303 out of the box triggers are far betterthan most, as a generality, and they can be cleaned up rather easily if youwant more of a race-game trigger. They are simple in design and function, don'tbreak, and are as versatile as you care to make them. For all the reasons citedhere, the Beretta 303, though no longer in production, snags my vote as the“all-around” 12 gauge autoloader.
