[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4218751, member: 45773"] This is correct. The 1301 also has a different operating system (the B-Link system). Everything is contained under the forearm. The A300 has a more traditional recoil system with a rod that extends into the butt stock. The A300 also has a single action bar as opposed to the dual action bars of the 1301. The new Mod 2 has some really nice upgrades over the previous versions of the 1301. Another nice thing about all of them is the 7+1 capacity. 7+2 if you ghost load it. The 1301 also handles cheap, light field loads perfectly...so it's a little more cost effective to practice. I'm not sure you could really go wrong with any of them. A few things about the Beretta really pissed me off, though. Not really the shotgun, but Beretta in general... It's not an inexpensive shotgun. And, it's marketed as the ultimate in a tactical/duty weapon. But Beretta doesn't provide an operator's manual with the gun. I had to order one and pay $7 for postage (the manual was free). Also... The 1301 has a QD sling swivel socket up front on the mag tube/barrel clamp. But it doesn't have any provision for a sling on the standard, Beretta stock. Who designs a "tactical" shotgun and only provides a front sling swivel? Fortunately, the quality of the gun makes up for stupid designers at Beretta. Noveske makes a rear QD sling swivel mount that sells for $20 and installs easily enough and solves the sling mount problem. The Mossberg comes with sling swivels front and rear. [/QUOTE]
