The A303 series is a gas-operated semi-automatic design known for reliable function. This example has a 28 in steel barrel with a vent rib and a single brass bead, paired with a 2 3/4 in chamber and a 2+1 capacity. It ejects from the right-side port and uses a round bolt-release button, with a grooved charging handle for positive control and a knurled magazine cap for easy disassembly.
Its interchangeable choke system is set up with three flush, screw-in tubes included: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. This setup provides straightforward pattern tuning for field or clays within the 2 3/4 in chamber specification.
The receiver is aluminum, anodized black, with factory line-border engraving, while the trigger-guard bow wears scroll engraving. The barrel is blued, and the trigger is gold-colored. Markings include "P. Beretta" and "MADE IN ITALY," with Italian Gardone and PSF proofs and a Beretta USA Corp., Accokeek, MD import stamp.
The furniture is walnut with a gloss finish. The stock has a checkered pistol grip and a length of pull of 14.25 in, and the matching walnut forend carries a PB medallion inset. The package presents a clean, classic Beretta field profile with practical controls and well-executed details.
