Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol Shotgun Review
Beretta’s new A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun, that is a 12-gauge gun specifically designed for the tactical user is making waves. It carries the same features like the top-of-the-line versions, but cheaper and made in the US in the company’s Gallatin, Tenn. facility.
It features a big safe, positive security, and it has a lever under the ejection port that dual-purposes in the role of a chamber release button and a bolt release button.
Versatility
This is an excellent option for hunters or shooters who are looking for an incredibly versatile shotgun. The sleek design and excellent performance make it a superb option for waterfowl hunting and shooting clays for sporting. The a300 also has the possibility of adding a wide range of chokes in order to modify its shooting pattern. The a300 is easy to operate and comes with a massive capacity for magazines, which allows shooters to have more rounds without worrying about running out of ammunition.
A300 Outlander A300 Outlander is the latest addition to Beretta’s 300-series line of semi-automatic shotguns that operate on gas. The versatile A300 Outlander is ideal for a variety of scenarios. It can be used by law enforcement, hunters and shooters who target. The A300 Outlander is an affordable option that offers top-quality shooter performance and dependability. It is very easy to remove the gun from its frame, making it easier to clean and maintain. The gun also features a large capacity magazine and an improved cylinder choking.
Despite its robust and long-lasting construction however, the A300 is extremely light. Its overall weight is less than 7 lbs. It’s easy to move and transport, making it ideal for hunters who are on going. The ergonomic design of the gun ensures you are comfortable when you hold and shoot. The A300 includes the largest bolt handle and an enlarged loading port. It’s available in wood and synthetic models.
One of the most intriguing innovative new models to be released of Beretta during the year was the A300 Patrol, which was made specifically for law enforcement and home/self-defense applications. With black polymer furniture as well as M-LOK slots for accessories this A300 Patrol is an excellent option for shooters looking for a versatile, reliable shotgun.
Much like all Beretta’s semiautomatic shotguns, the A300 Patrol has a receiver CNC-machined of 7075-T6 Aluminum, which helps reduce weight and also eliminates concerns about corrosion. Apart from the traditional cone of forcing, it comes with the cylinder choke tube that is threaded that is able to take a range of options from the aftermarket.
The A300 Patrol has a 19.1-inch barrel. It is enough for most hunting and self-defense purposes. The bore on the cylinder has the standard diameter. Additionally, the barrel is ribless and has a fiber optic end bead and an additional mid-barrel bead. It is possible to shoot targets in dim light. The Patrol includes a recoil-reduction system which offers stability, comfort and control. It makes it ideal for delicate or smaller shooters.
Durability
The A300UP like other Beretta semiautomatic shotguns are durable. Beretta affirms that it can be able to handle “a wide range of heavier 3-1/2-inch rounds” and give you the “open hand” group up to 15 yards and 8 pellets of Federal Flite Control rounds. As I tested it, the A300UP was able to handle all the shells I put through it without issues, or failure to get into the battery however, the most notable stoppages were resulted from the wrong load of the rounds (see the photo below).
Like the other models, like the other models, A300 Outlander is powered by the gas pressure that comes through the barrel. The piston pulls on the rod that operates, and removes the bolt. This mechanism has plenty of benefits, for instance the gas piston continually breaks dirt and carbon from the ports on the cylinders, that makes the gun less dirty and efficient. The piston can be placed in the magazine tube itself, in contrast to that of 391-series Beretta. This means that you can have the A300 to be lighter and a smaller gun. A300 pistons are easier to maintain and are less complex as 391 pistons. The caps that are on the fore end of A300 guns can be turned a quarter-turn instead of those 7-piece models found in 391 series guns.
The A300 is a close cousin to the 1301 series. The 1301 is considered to be the best of shots for defense, but it’s also a standalone firearm. It’s a good option for anyone who wants to take a shotgun along with it to the range in order to shoot clay sports, ducks, or doves in addition to going to the BerettaForSale blind to practice. It’s also a good alternative for shooting competitions, home defense and tactical purposes.
Cost and absence of a kick off reducer are the two biggest drawbacks. That’s not an excuse to avoid the A300. Just keep in mind you’ll need an extra several hundred dollars to buy any of the options. The A300 shotgun has proved to be a great acquisition for me and I’m eager to see what next Beretta is planning to do with the A300 collection.
Ease of Handling
The A300 shotgun from Beretta is an excellent product that provides durability, flexibility, and performance for upland and waterfowl hunting for home defense, as well as police officers. As a company with over 500 documented years of firearms manufacturing expertise, Beretta has built its reputation on top-tier engineering, which is evident in its design and the high-end quality of.
The A300 gas-operated action is reliable and durable, and is able to handle all shotshell types. The self-cleaning action features an internal gas piston that continually eliminates gunpowder residue of the cylinder. This reduces the amount of maintenance required. The gas system in the A300 ensures that the barrel ports are free of any fouling to ensure it is always possible to get a good sight picture.
The A300’s ease of use is a different advantage. Its trigger is smooth and sharp, and the large controls make it easy to operate in any weather. Its recoil is less than a pump-action shotgun. This makes it more convenient to locate targets and shoot continuously.
Beretta has been listening to opinions of professionals and users in police work. The A300 was redesigned to be more friendly to police. The pistol grip is aggressively textured and provides shooters with an ensconced grip. The ambidextrous bolt release is easy to locate and manipulate, and the oversized magwell assists in loading rounds more quickly. Furthermore, there are M-Lok slots for lights and lasers, which are placed where shooters with left or right hands are able to locate them easily.
The standard on the A300 Ultima Patrol is a stock shorter than usual and is ideal for police officers. The stock of the Patrol is much more controllable when it’s being run at fast speeds. Some officers prefer the longer 1301 stocks. It also comes with 13.3″ long pull, which is perfect for most officers.
The A300 also has two QD mountings built into the A300. These are in combination with the large control along with a top rail as well as the QD mounts. It is not possible to connect a barrel sling. This is an oversight that Beretta would have had to correct in this Mod 2 upgrade of the 1301.
The A300 was created with law-enforcement and personal defense in mind, but it’s also an excellent shotgun for hunters as well as sports shooters. Beretta offers this shotgun with the finest ergonomics. And the results are a fantastic shotgun which will last long into the future.
Comfort
The A300 is a shotgun that can be used in a variety of ways that has proven to be reliable for shooters who are sports and professional shooters. It also comes with numerous options for customization. From chokes to accessories, the gun can be modified to suit the shooting requirements of any type. It is also easy to use and maintain and is a good option for your home defense.
The A300 Outlander is a semi-automatic shotgun with a tubular magazine that can accommodate up to 3 2.75-inch shells. It is powered by gas pressure emitted from the barrel onto a piston, which then acts as an operator rod, disconnecting the bolt, and then turning the gun on and off. It is used widely in firearms to reduce recoil.
There are a number of cheaper semi-automatics that can be found but the A300 is renowned for its quality and reliability. It is easy to operate and maintain, and it comes with a variety of helpful features, including an attachment for flashlights on the fore-end. The controls on the shotgun are also larger than many other defensive shotguns. This makes them easier to use in difficult situations.
We were able to Berettaforsale experience three stops shooting two dozen rounds of Federal Flite Control 8 pellets. Each of the three stops were corrected quickly by pulling the charging handle. The Outlander was also able to produce great results on the range using a 1.5 inch open hand arrangement.
Other than the occasional halt, the Outlander was very easy to shoot and balanced. The aggressively-textured polymer on the Outlander allows users to grasp it tightly. The large trigger guard, unlike the small safety of others, allows for a more secure hold. The only downside is that the polymer could tear your fingers if you do not use gloves during prolonged usage.
The A300 Xtreme can be a excellent gun, but it’s expensive. The good news is that Beretta is responding by introducing a number of lower-priced U.S.-made versions based on the 390model, such as the A300 Outlander and Ultima Patrol. These shotguns feature the same fundamental operating system as the Xtreme however are a lot smaller in cost.
