After conversing with you on the merits of the 303 and searching shotgunreport for all the 303 info it contains, I decided to pick up a 26″ barrel A303 12 ga for Sporting Clays efforts. The Beretta 390 silver mallard (I think) had the same style hump.You’ve another A303 Convert. Why does the Browning B-80 not share the rarified air of the 303 Other than the slight humpback of the B-80 they look the same. Used 303s seem to sell for more than they cost new. Sporting clay shooters have raised the Beretta 303 to mythical status.

I have quite a collection of chokes for the gun, but have never found any that offered a noticeable improvement over the factory Mobilchokes. There it is usable, but not ideal due to the extreme speed of the birds.My guns do have the Mobilchokes factory installed. The only game where I don’t think it’s ideal is International Skeet. But the important thing is that I feel comfortable shooting that 303 on everything from wobble trap to sporting clays to skeet to ZZ to FITASC to whatever. I have to review a new gun bi-monthly for my Shooting Sportman column.
They experimented with various magazine cut-offs, gas port sizes, wood configurations and the like, but the basic gun remained unchanged until the 390 gas action.The 390 and 391 gas actions are a real improvement over the 303 and preceding. You can quickly see this by comparing the machined magazine tube of the AL-1 to the extruded tube of later guns. With each iteration of their gas gun, Beretta found ways to make production shortcuts. The 303’s gas action is really unchanged in design from all the Beretta gas actions that went before in the AL-1, AL-2, 300 (yes, there was one), 301 and 302. I just made sure to mike the chokes to get the constrictions I wanted.Is the 303 the Holy Grail of gas guns? I certainly don’t think so. Finger tightening extended chokes is an alternative, but I like the flush jobs as my gun has enough muzzle weight as it is.
It’s just that the new actions will do it with less stress on the gun at the high end and yet deal with lower pressure shells at the low end.My problem with the 390 I first had was that silly stepped rib. My 303 will eat any of the 2-3/4″ shells I have used from 7/8 oz to 3-3/4 dram 1-1/4 oz pigeon loads. I felt that the 390 gas action was clearly superior, especially when constantly switching shell strengths. With the 303, I had to use a magnum mainspring to tailor the action to the shell I was using.
If it weren’t for that, I’d probably be shooting one.I really like the 391. The problem was mostly in the pistol grip for me. Will wonders never cease! My other problem with the 390 sporters was always with the stock.
Both guns are every bit as reliable as my 303. My 303 trap is a good 1/2 pound heavier, which has good and bad points.I think that the 390 gas action is a bit simpler to deal with than the 391, but I could learn to live with it. Every now and then I sort of appreciate the lighter weight up front of the 391. The gun felt a little light, but Rich Cole now sells screw on magazine weights and stock weights to help fine tune it.
I shot the 391 sporter lights out on pigeon. I’m sure that I would be just as happy with the 391 as I am with my 303s. Apparently, they are hard to take apart, though I don’t really think that you would have to do that very often. They contain a spring and recoil absorbing chunk of polymer. The 391 forends are actually little recoil reducers.
I broke one, but only one, in my 303. Those bolts are expensive. Controlling bolt speed with a fresh mainspring and/or tailored exhaust valve springs is important as you don’t want to break one of the rear legs off the bolt.
If you are considering a new gun the 390 and 391 are discontinued, but the 391 lives on as the Beretta A300. Remarkable.If I were a new shooter considering a gas gun, I’d probably go for a used 390 or used 391 simply because they are easier to find in the most popular configurations. The trigger job that Timney did for me about 60,000 rounds ago is almost crisp today as it was when new. That’s about it for those 70,000 rounds. Ditto two hammer struts before installing the new ones.
I shot three of them literally to pieces, one almost to pieces and sold the other two when I bought Berettas. I’m sure that all sorts of people will claim to have shot their 1100/11-87s for a million billion rounds without a single malfunction (usually claiming never to have cleaned them too), but that hasn’t been my experience with the six 1100s I owned. I’m not sure how important this is on a $700 gun. The only problem is that in my experience, Remington autos don’t do high mileage very well. It’s soft shooting and balances quite well.
Beretta A303 Review Full Is Fine
Use #8s from the 16 and #7-1/2s for handicap. Briley will do it with three of those nice thinwalls for around $250.Of course, if you just want to use the gun for trap, the Full is fine. Screw choke the 30″ Full 303? Why not. Too bad that Remington doesn’t make that stock any more.And finally, to your question. Still, I like their balance and stock fit of the old straight stocked 1100 trap guns better than anything available today.
