What’s Included
- Beretta A303 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun (28 inch barrel)
The A303 uses Beretta’s A300-series self-regulating gas system for reliable semi-automatic operation. It is chambered for 2 3/4 inch shells and has a 3+1 capacity, pairing a 28 inch barrel with a ventilated rib for smooth handling.
Controls are straightforward and purposeful: a cross-bolt safety, a cylindrical bolt handle, and a fore-end-mounted magazine cut-off that allows quick shell management. The top of the receiver has anti-glare longitudinal serrations.
Factory receiver scroll engraving with the "P. Beretta" script adds a classic touch, complemented by a gold-tone trigger and a blued finish. The wood stock and forend feature cut checkering for grip, along with a rear sling swivel and a recoil pad. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches. The A303 uses a fixed stock drop and cast (no shim system).
Made in Italy, this A303 represents the A300-series design ethos with its self-regulating gas operation and practical field features.
