does anyone own a Beretta A300?

6. I have a Beretta 686 White Onyx Over/Under Shotgun

A buddy I shoot sporting clays with swears by his A300. When I've shot his A300 sporting, I found it to be soft on the shoulder. It's a perfect high volume shotgun imo. I prefer O/U guns because they are purty and I don't have to stoop down and pickup my empty hulls

The only thing I'll add it that how a shotgun fits you is the single most important consideration. Don't buy a brand, model or style of shotgun unless you know it fits you great. The best way to find out is by shooting a couple rounds of clays before your buy. Beg, borrow or rent the gun you're interested in first! I've got a $2300 shotgun that hurts overtime I shoot it. It hurts my face, neck, shoulder and pride. Buyers remorse is too kind a term...
