Beretta A300 Outlander vs Remington 1100 Magnum
Posted on 3/1/16 at 9:53 pm
Posted on 3/1/16 at 9:53 pm
So I'm going to be buying a sub-$800 autoloader sometime before next season and have settled on 2 options:
1. NIB Beretta A300 Outlander
2. Used Remington 1100 Magnum with Remchoke
Which would you buy and why? The 1100 would be a used/older gun but both can be had in the $700 range. I've always shot an 870 so the familiar sight lines would be nice, but at the same time the durability of a synthetic A300 isn't something to write off.
Thoughts?

For what you get, A300 is best valued 3" semiauto on the market

Holy frick, the Remington shouldn't even be in the same discussion as the Beretta. I have the A300, an Extrema, and a Super Vinci and the Outlander is what I pick up 9 times out of 10. It is a machine.

A300 hands down.
Own both. I've got a mid 90's 1100 and A300, both wood stocks. 1100 is a horse but it weighs like one too. A300 has eaten everything I've ran through it from 7/8 to 1&1/4 without flinching during my last dove hunt, it weighs less, and recoil is nothing.
FWIW the wood/blued Beretta seems less durable than the Remi. I didn't like the swing/balance of the synthetic A300 but will be buying the plastic stock and forend for next waterfowl season.

A300.

If it's a well take care of older 1100 I'd get that. They are fine shotguns.
If it's a newer one with a shitty finish than get the beretta.

I hear the A300 is the real deal.

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. That's my motto and also why I go with the 1100. When I flip a pirogue before dawn I know what gun I want to pull out of the mud to hunt with the rest of the morning.

I've shot an 1100 for 20+ years with 0 problems. i won an Outlander in a raffle at a charity clay shoot last year and have shot probably 500-750 rounds through it and absolutely love it. By the way its probably a good 2-3 lbs. lighter than my 1100.
If the 1100 is in good condition I would have no problem recommending either with the price being the deciding factor.

Love our 1100s but they do not shoot well dirty. Have to keep them very clean in my experience.

Man that is not the experience I've had at all. My 1100 very rarely jams and I hardly clean the thing unless I dunk it. Just my 2 cents.

I bought an A300 recently. Used it for the last three weeks of duck season, and i love it. I wanted something that shot 3.5in but didnt want something used and didnt want to spend $1000+ so i settled for the A300, and i do not regret it. Sky blasted a few geese the last morning of the season with 3in #4, so i guess i dont really need 3.5in.

Sounds like the A300 is the consensus (well aside from gorillacoco, but his opinion doesn't count anyway). That's the way I was leaning and the extra weight reduction and added durability of the synthetic vs the wood stock is the tipping point I think. My guns never really get just destroyed while hunting, but the stocks get wet and I hate that my 870 stock swells.
Now I just need to go get it and start shooting!

Yeah, I want to hunt with the one in the floating gun case.

Alright, now that I'm decided on the A300, should I go with the black or is the camo worth the extra $130?
Since I hunt a wide range of habitat, I'm thinking I should go with the black. I love the mossy oak shadow blades pattern, but in some of the flooded buck brush I hunt, that yellow pattern sticks out like a sore thumb.
