Default Beretta A300

One of my podnas is selling his thinking about buying it. Only thing is the biggest shell it shoots is 3". Never did much goose hunting but wanting to give it a try this year. Is 3" shells enough? I really like the auto shotguns just hate to spenk 2k for a good one.

3 inch is plenty. I bought the Vinci it only shoots 3". 3.5" is overkill. That is a good gun. U should get it!

If I were you, I'd spend the money on a 3-1/2". You can pull geese from far with 3" shells. But it's more fun and you get more range with bigger. If they made a 4" I'd sell you mine.

I hear what your saying but spending 450 instead of 2k is a good trade off. Think I will buy it anyway hard to pass up the deal.
