Looking for a sub $1,000 duck gun. Don't need anything that shoots 3.5". Does the Outdoor Board have much experience with either of these? Both shoulder well, so i really just want something that shoots every time I pull the trigger.

The a300 is the unofficial shotgun of the OB. I have one and it has done well. Pretty much everyone that has one loves it.

Have the franchi, obviously debated btw the two at that price point.

Franchi shouldered better. Have had no regrets- tho I will say for an inertia type system thought it was going to recoil less

I bought my son an A300 last year. Many ducks, geese and a few turkeys have been harvested since. No jams or malfunctions while shooting. The only issue was the finger tab that is use to open the breech fell off and was lost. Beretta sent us a new one right away.

those are both the GOAT sub-1k shotguns for each of their operating systems (gas and inertia). Either would be fine

I shot the Franchi I12 for years. Last year got the beretta. After roughly 4 cases of shells thru the beretta, I'm switching back to the I12. The Beretta is a little to long.

Both guns have performed excellent. Just a matter of personal fit.
