Weighing in at just over seven pounds, this shotgun carries easily on long walks through Missouri’s fields. The 24-inch barrel is the sweet spot for many shooters—long enough for a clean swing on crossing shots, short enough to not catch on every branch in a timber duck hole. Its gas system is the key to its soft shooting nature, making long days at the sporting clays range or in a goose pit far more comfortable. The synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and temperature changes, which is exactly what you need when the weather turns. At a price point of $692.68, it represents a significant value, delivering core Beretta engineering without the premium price tag of their higher-end models. It’s a tool, not a trophy, and it’s built to perform.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the shotgun for the hunter who needs one gun to do it all—from dove opener to late-season geese. It’s for the landowner who wants a dependable firearm for predator control and home security. It’s also an ideal first semi-auto for a new shooter getting into waterfowling or clay sports, thanks to its manageable recoil and proven reliability. When it comes to home defense, its semi-automatic action and capacity offer a decisive advantage, and its 24″ barrel is still manageable in hallway confines. This model ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Extremely reliable across diverse ammunition types. The gas system significantly dampens recoil, which is a major benefit for high-volume shooting. The synthetic stock and aluminum receiver require minimal maintenance. It’s a simple, effective platform with no gunsmithing required for basic use. Compatible with a wide range of aftermarket chokes, including Beretta’s Mobilchoke system.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while durable, lacks the aesthetic of wood. The finish is utilitarian. Some users may prefer a shorter barrel for dedicated home defense. That said, its 45.5-inch overall length is a fair trade for its ballistic efficiency and swing dynamics in the field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the magazine capacity of the A300 Outlander?
A: The standard model typically has a 3+1 capacity (three in the magazine tube, one in the chamber) when using 2¾” shells. Capacity may be reduced by one when using 3″ magnum shells due to their longer length.
Q: Is the A300 Outlander reliable with light target loads?
A: Yes, that’s a primary strength of the Blink gas system. It’s designed to cycle reliably with light 1-ounce target loads all the way up to 3″ magnums, making it excellent for clays, dove hunting, and practice without needing to adjust the system.
Q: Can I use my existing Beretta chokes with this shotgun?
A: The A300 Outlander uses Beretta’s Mobilchoke threading. This means it is directly compatible with the vast library of Mobilchoke tubes made for Beretta shotguns, giving you immediate access to every constriction for any shooting discipline.
