Thread: Advice Please - Beretta A303

The A303 was a nice gun back in the day. As a field gun it is not really designed for clay shooting. Since it has been out of production for so long, if something breaks it may be difficult to find spare parts.
If you want to use it for hunting , check the barrel markings to see if it's 2 3/4" or 3" chambered.
Looks to be in good condition but I would pay no more than $400. The market is pretty dead right now, so even that may be too generous.

TBH if you are getting into clay shooting it would be better to put the money into a good secondhand over/under designed for the sport.

Thanks for the advice. The barrel is marked "Cam 70" which is 2 3/4 from what i can find online. I'll probably take it to the gun shop to measure the bore and grab it for duck hunting next year
