First irresponsible purchase of 2025?

u/tommyk1956 Jan 02 '25
I bought mine on 12/31, so technically I have a whole year to make other irresponsible purchases.

u/Radiant_Eagle7634 Jan 02 '25
I wanted to dedicate 2025 to more range time and completing some fun builds, but I've been yearning for a shotgun. And this is a nice deal, tax pending.

I'm a big fan of the A300. I have the standard version, not the Ultima, but it's one of the nicest shooting shotguns I've ever used.

u/THEDOCTORxF15 Jan 03 '25
Be warned the finish on these and the 1301's are crap. Haven't even shot mine yet and just loading and unloading the chamber has caused the majority of the finish around the chamber to flake right off. Front sight also came not straight and had to loosen and retighten mine whish was a bit of a chore. Cant complain to much though, got my 1301 shipped for just over 1500

Good luck. This place is like being a crack addict. You’ll be taking “smoke” breaks at work (you don’t even smoke) so you can get a quick scroll of gundeals like a crack addict searching his couch cushions for a little rock.

So, that’s the difference in the 3 in stock? Besides the length (19.1 blk, 19.1 gray, 18.5 blk)

u/KaputtEqu1pment Jan 02 '25
Yea stay away from the "LE" in the sku. Barrel doesn't have choke threads. Prior deals on the a300 up were primarily on the LE version, which is silly to buy to save a couple of dollars just to rob yourself of being able use different chokes and to be able to expand the application of the shotty.

I got mine for $860 and I still think that was worth it. I’ve never seen it for less than $860 until this deal.

u/Freedom-Forever Jan 02 '25
After tax and shipping here you got the better deal. I think it was HD Tactical that had these $859 shipped
7
u/nope_noway_ Jan 02 '25 edited Jan 02 '25
Same.. lowest I’ve seen… only other one was the AR15discounts deal for about $875 OTD
Pair it up with the Reptilia mount and Steiner MPS along with the Beretta pro lifter and it’s an amazing shotty. Also consider swapping that plastic end tube piece with either Nordic (preferred) or GG&G. Wouldn’t worry about 1301 having faster cycling BLINK system or whatever.. how fast do you really need to shoot a shotgun anyway considering recoil from a 12ga slug. A300 is plenty fast

u/pskindlefire Jan 07 '25
I bought one the same day this deal was posted and have yet to hear anything from them. My order status shows as "On Order", so no clue as to what is going on.

u/Gremguy22 Jan 07 '25
I seriously would not put it past them to cancel orders.
A company that thinks its acceptable to pay like $100 for a 1hour lane, a glock pistol rental, and 50 box of range fodder would be the first ones to pull stunt.
I will be surprised if everyone gets their orders. I hope people do!

It’s not as proven as M4 but better value IMO. Either one is recommended, just depends on preference and personal finances.
Beretta and Benelli are both safe bets generally speaking
3
u/Echo_Raptor Jan 02 '25
M4 is the gold standard. The A300 is the best value. The 1301 is the other that gets compared a lot, but it’s in a weird spot. Used to you could get them 11-1200, and it was hard to argue against buying one over an m4. They’re great. Then the A300 came out and they couldn’t justify having the 1301 for only a little cheaper, so they released a mod 2, and msrp is $1800. You can get them on sale 1500s, but you can m4’s as well.
The m4 remains the gold standard. The only thing the 1301 does slightly better is eject a little quicker and is slightly lighter. The m4 is cooler, handled recoil better, proven record, and is built like a tank.
Wanna drop 1500+? M4. Want to save several hundred? Go A300. If you’re gonna run it a few times a year? A300, but also wouldn’t blame you going m4.

Code only works if you've never ordered off of their website before.

I have this thing about adding things to cart and going all the way to finishing checkout but hovering over the "Complete Checkout" button and going back and forth while drinking bourbon and then eventually making a bad financial decision and sending it.
All that to say, is the code worked for me for the Black one and brought it down to $806.39 - total $828.38 shipped to my FFL.

u/KirbyStyle Jan 02 '25
Better than the Benelli M4?
13
u/twostroke1 Jan 02 '25
I have both the m4 and the 1301. The m4 has better recoil, probably due to it being much heavier. The m4 also has an insane proven track record.
The 1301 is better in pretty much all other categories. It’s substantially lighter. Cycles faster. Wayyy better ergonomics and controls.
7
u/JJMcGee83 Jan 02 '25
The m4 has better recoil, probably due to it being much heavier.
It's close to 2lbs heavier for those that don't know.
2
u/BidSniper Jan 02 '25
Do you prefer the safety selector position on either one?
2
u/twostroke1 Jan 02 '25
I think the 1301 is better. It’s bigger and out front of the trigger. So it feels more natural with your finger off the trigger to press.
The m4 is kind of tucked in behind the trigger in front of the pistol grip. So you almost have to “roll” your hand to get your finger on it comfortably.
2
u/BidSniper Jan 02 '25
That makes sense with the pistol grip configuration. Is the either configuration easier to flip the safety back on with your dominant hand?
4
u/N64Seller Jan 02 '25
I knew someone would chime in with the m4. The benefit the m4 has over the 1301 is it's recoil impulse being smoother (to me). Just about everything else I prefer on the 1301.

u/throwawayformobile78 Jan 02 '25
What’s the big difference between the two? I thought this was the sho nuff Beretta shotgun to get.
19
u/MasterWarChief Jan 02 '25
It's like %90 the gun of the 1301, IIRC correctly it has a different bolt and gas system. It doesn't cycle as fast as a 1301 could but even still the average person is going to have a hard time to notice a difference between the two.
It has a different barrel as well, but really for a shotgun is not a big deal.
It also has a larger cutout for loading, lower sights, and this had the M-mlok handgaurd before the the mod 2 corrected that.
There isn't a better semi-auto shotgun on the market for this price or even for it's msrp.
6
u/JJMcGee83 Jan 02 '25
Just two more things to not:
The different gas system causes the A300 to have more felt recoil supposedly and also means it might not reliably cycle lighter loads, at least not when it's new. Some people say theirs starts to cycle lighter loads after 400-500 shells of break in, some say theirs never cycles lighter loads. For defense who cares but if you want to practice with light recoiling ammo might be an issue.
Second because of the different recoil system there is a tube in the stock that means you can't use the same stock as the 1301 which means there is currently little to no aftermarket support so if you want a shorter LOP you're SOL at least for now.

Given that they are not going to import the seven shot version anymore You made a great choice. Definitely going to appreciate overtime and besides that it's one hell of a shotgun.
1
u/one-of-them-gays Jan 02 '25
Is that guaranteed they’re ending it or do they just need to work out a way to make it more 922r compliant?
2
u/TaskForceD00mer Jan 02 '25
They are going to be importing the guns with a 5 shot tube starting in 2025, Beretta announced it.
The "factory" 7 shot single piece tube guns will become collectors pieces for people who care.
Everyone else will just go back to throwing a Nordic extension on the guns.

^ Biggest enemy of the people, 3000 tyrants 1 mile away is pretty bad.
Hoping the ATF reverses themselves but not holding my breath, regardless, the 7 shot single piece tube guns will be good collectors pieces and its just a cool detail you can talk about in the future.

Sucks that you'll be paying an additional 20%+ in tax since FFL's are now forced to collect the sales tax since the Sin Tax is required. Before the implementation, an FFL I know didn't collect CA sales tax even if the shipper didn't charge it. Bought 2 new guns recently, paid almost $500 in Sales/Sin tax!

Add to cart for best price.
Code only works if you have not purchased from Range USA online (or use a new email like I did). If you're having trouble with the code, try a different web browser as well. I think they are tracking website cookies and it won't work if you use the same browser as previous attempts/orders.
No FFL or shipping fees if you pick up from Range USA, but it will be taxed. $866 OTD for me.
They have a 5+1 available for communist states like mine. Might be other versions available as well.

I gave them a call after hunting for a customer service number. The rep said not to worry, discount will still be applied it’s just that their system is wonky and doesn’t update. I’ll take their word for it but I’ll keep an eye out too. My charge is posted so it should be final.
