Just wanted to show off my new shotgun, a Beretta A300 Outlander. The gun is fairly new on the market so there is not a lot of reviews on the net that I have been able to find. I figured I would give a mini review here. Most of the few reviews I did find have great things to say about the shotgun. A few, who seem not to follow instructions, had bad things to say about the shotgun. I found the coveted wood stocked Outlander which seems to be the harder model to find at the moment. At a price tag of under $800 out the door, I was very pleased with the fit and finish when compared to higher dollar shotguns. The wood is oil finished walnut I believe and the gun is a clean, well done, matte black. It is a very handsome shotgun. As many have suggested, I ran 50rds of higher velocity loads through the gun before I started feeding it cheap Walmart ammo. I used Winchester AA, 2 3/4, 1 1/8oz, 7 1/2 shot, 1300fps. This is supposed to break in the gun and help it function better down the road. Now I have only fired 125 shell through it to date. Fifty being the Winchester AA and the rest being Federal ammo from Walmart. Hardly a good test, I know. But this seem to be where people start having issues and thus far, it is flawless. The very same can be said for the two camo Outlanders that my friends bought at the same time I purchased mine. The piston dampens the recoil enough to make it manageable and a pleasure to shoot for all three of the women we let us them. All around, this is a great value shotgun and I am extremely pleased with it. So much so, I am thinking of picking up another wood Outlander for my wife and a camo model for myself!
