Hey guys.

 

So i LOVE my Remington 1100, but I'm thinking about getting a new semi-auto shotgun just for the fun of it. Looking into the lower-cost Beretta models.

 

The Beretta 3901 and the A300 Outlander... The price difference is about $200 bucks, depending on whether you get the A300 Outlander with a wood or synthetic stock. Does anyone know any of the important differences between the 3901 and the A300 Outlander, and maybe the A391 Urika? Not really looking to drop more than $1,000 bucks on this gun, but you never know...

 

Also, from what I understand, it seems that the A300 Outlander just came out recently, and I guess some stores don't even have them yet, so I guess I shouldn't expect much on reviews. Anyone seen them around?

The A300/A400 represent the new series of semi-auto's from Beretta.

 

The A300/A400 use the newer "self-cleaning" gas system. The A300 Uplander is sans the magazine cutoff, whereas the A400 has one. Similar to the difference between a 3901 and a 391, where the 3901 has no magazine cutoff; the 391 does.The A300 Uplander shares some of the newer gas parts of the premier A400, same slim forend, but with a narrower vent rib. The gas systems on the A300/A400's are supposed to run very clean. The A300/A400 series are slimmer and trimmer than the 3901 & 391.

 

3901 vs. A300 = Old technology vs. new technology.

 

 

Have you considered a Benelli M2? You can get the american version for around $1k
