I have a question, i Does the 20 Ga Beretta Semi auto shotgun have a lot less kick then the 12 Ga model . I am a beginner and should I get the 20 ga . Thank you Vincent
I’ve got a “Remlin” 1895 Dark. Built Dec 2020. Quality is fine. No issues with it. I think there’s been a lot of hysteria about bad quality Remins. Yes, there were some in the early years when they were taken over, but the later made ones are fine.
It sure is great quality gun but i don't like it's look with the thick pad and barrel longer than the magazine Old one looked better but just my opinion, i'm lucky enough to own a JM one from 2009
The stock doesn’t recoil back. There springs on the pad. The button on in the mag well holds the the slide back or you can pull the trigger. Don’t hit on it with a hammer!
I asked my shop back in 2015 to put this gun on the wish list for me. It took 8 years but I finally got to bring it home Thursday. I paid $1,600 for it, for a while there I started to think I’d never get one as prices shot up super crazy for a while. Now I’m happy I got one of the Ruger made ones as the quality is top notch.
Are you capable of changing the stock to a aftermarket one / different one if you don’t like the Kick Off System? or does the gun need that to function?
chrisRedwolf....Not sure about being able to change stock (I assume you would want to install pistol grip maybe?) I CAN say this though, you WILL LOVE THE KICK OFF!!!! A 20 gauge heavy turkey load will recoil LESS than the lightest target load you can imagine!!!!
@@kykrazy6050 i understand that after shooting 12ga Turkey loads through my uncle’s pump shotgun. But what i meant was like the way you can put a Magpul stock on the 1301 which i don’t think has the Kick Off System. The reason i asked was because on a lot of A300 models the Kick Off System is located right in-front of your face and i have seen reviews where the guy shooting has less recoil to the shoulder but because of the Kick Off System feels the recoil in their face / cheek. Not something i would appreciate a shotgun doing. So knowing if you could fix the problem ( if it is a problem ) before hand or having to look for a different shotgun is helpful.
@@chrisredwolf3130That is the a400 system where the stock itself also moves its kick off plus or something. I bought the version without it and did not get any cheek slap. The recoil reduction is noticable vs an 870 pump despite adding extra weight to the 870. As far as changing the stock you can purchase a300’s without kickoff stock, they cost less.
Quality is crap on most guns these days. You can spend $2600 on a shotgun and it’ll have failures or you can spend $600 and have failures. The quality is just not what it used to be on anything anymore. There’s a reason why 40 year old shotguns are going for the same price as the new. And that’s because people are looking for quality. If I spend $1,500 on a shotgun or even $800 I expect it to be quality. Especially when you used to get shotguns from Walmart with better quality than the new guns and are paying stupid prices for them.
With the Beretta bolts, you need to get the plunger, attached to the bolt to fall into a hole at the back of the receiver and at the front of the stock in order to pull the bolt back. My A300 outlander is the same way.
I know exactly what you mean. When I took mine apart I put the plunger back upside down and couldn't get the bolt to cycle (seems to me it would be easy for Beretta to key this so that wasn't possible, but, whatever). I had to go to a cleaning video, and even then it took me a minute to realize what I'd done. Once I did, I was able to put the gun back together no fuss no muss.
I just bought one of these and took it to the range straight out of the box. It stove-piped like every other shot. Took it home and field stripped it, (very easy to do) and found the moving parts were caked in heavy packing grease. I cleaned the action, the trigger group, and the gas system thoroughly, then replaced the grease with a light coat of high-quality CPL. I took it back to the range, and it ran like a champ! 100 rounds with zero issues. FWIW, my bolt release is metal. The gun is perfect for what I want, has rock-solid reliability since I've cleaned it, and is great looking to boot. I paid all of $719 for it. Can't imagine a better semiauto shotgun for that price.
Stripping and removing packing grease is THE NUMBER ONE thing you should do soon as you get a new gun. Bad as we want to shoot em' if thick grease isn't removed then give you a bad 1st impression. Sounds like you got er' figured out!!!!
Bart unfortunately that is the simple rule of supply and demand. I have nothing against Henry they make a great rifle, but they do not offer near the features or craftsmanship as this new offering from Ruger/Marlin...JMO
Ergonomics on the a300 ultima are tremendous, the natural sweeping transition from safety to shooting coupled with kick off make it a sweet shooter.. fore-end feels a little cheap compared to a400 but it is considerably cheaper.. I think the fiber optic front tube is a little too large on the a300 Ultima though
I like that every part from bottom to top is made in America that’s awesome! I really want one of these because that fluted action and laminate is just so pretty! It’s in a beautiful caliber as well and it’s got a lever action I’m sold 😌 now if only I could acquire one 👀 I definitely got my eye out for one.
I would love to see this with normal size loop, .454 Casull, slimmer / lighter stock total weight 6.0 lbs., more capacity. .454 Casull 240 - 400 grain bullets avg velocity 1500 - 1650 fps = ME approx 1,800 ft lbs. More than enough for most 100 yard applications. Comparing the cartridges, .45-70 405 grain flat nose produces about the same energy w/ less pressure as any good Corbon load .454 Casull or about 1,800 ft lbs. ME. With 300 grain bullets pushed over 2,000 fps the big gov't round out easily out performs the hot pistol with ME levels 2,800 - 3,400 ft. Nevertheless, having one cartridge for handgun and rifle w/ more capacity in the rifle seems like a distinct advantage. Comments ?
That is the best NEW marlin. The older original CT stamped ones are factory ported, keeps the recoil down so 405 won't break anything. If you scope the gun, get see thru ring mounts so a charging pig doesn't get you.
I’m going to get one of these beauties I’m just glad that it made in America jack Winchester’s at one time were made in Japan Nothing against Japan I just think that these guns should be made in America
