[QUOTE="erikblank, post: 2016759, member: 96627"] Berretta A300. They do offer wood stocks and for the money it's a great all round shotgun. They list between $680 (black stock) and $950 (deluxe wood) with basic wood and camo models coming in at $800. Mine listed for $850 and I picked it up on sale for $620. First off, I'm a big Benelli fan and if you can afford one and that's what you want, get one. If your going to shoot 10,000 rounds a year get a Benelli. I was going to. I bought my A300 while saving for a Benelli. I was thinking' I'd use it for a season, dump it and get most my money back. Six years later and unless it breaks beyond repair or the government steals it from me, I'm keeping it. The A300 is a workhorse. It's never going to be a safe queen. The fit and finish isn't as nice as the A400 or any of the Benelli's,. I'm not saying it's bad, it's not. It's a third to half the cost of the others and if put them side by side you will see the difference. Unlike some shotguns I've owned or used, the A300 points and swings very naturally. The gas system makes it a pleasure to shoot. Also it's not ammo picky. Since I've owned I've put 3000 rounds though it. Mostly low base Wally World cheap stuff, shooting clays. Not one jam. Not one failure to cycle. It's easy to strip and clean. It looks good in my trucks gun rack. Bottom line, it's not heirloom quality. Nor will you be embarrassed to be seen with it. It's a good shotgun that does what it's suppose to do. Kill things that fly. For me it checks all the boxes. I'm not the only one too think this. Berretta should be paying, I've sold three A300's just by letting friends and family shoot mine. One last thing... Whatever you end up getting, make sure to enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
