A300 Ultima Patrol

I'd prefer it had a LEM trigger

You jest, but I would legit love to have a DA/SA trigger with decocker on a shotgun.

I'm only 1 range trip, with a box of birdshot and some buckshot patterning, into owning mine but here are some (minor) issues I've noticed:

1. The rear QD socket wouldn't hold a Grovtec swivel at first. I found that the shoulder of the swivel was hitting the stock so it wouldn't seat all the way. I backed the socket out a bit with an allen wrench and that fixed it.
2. The rear sight isn't adjustable, so plan on replacing it if you want to dial POI in exactly. For me, it shot high-right but still within a -0 zone at 15 yards with LE133 and a cylinder choke.
3. On the subject of the rear sight, the listed torque spec is 4.5 in/lb. That's outside the range of the Wheeler FAT Wrench that most people have, so you might have to buy a different torque driver if you want to install a new rear sight.
4. It only comes with one IC choke tube, so you'll have to buy some more if you want to throw a tighter pattern w/ birdshot or something.

Otherwise I don't have any complaints. Some people don't like the position of the rear QD socket but it worked OK for me with a VTAC sling.

Non adjustable rear sight would be an issue for me...hopefully not hard to swap out.

It’s not hard if you know how to use a screwdriver

Did you replace yours?

There's probably a market for all of those 1301 sights that are taken off for CROM's. Fusion has replacement apertures if you don't like the factory rear ghost ring on the 1301 sight.

Did you replace yours?

Yup! With a 1301 aperture.

I've got other shotguns with dots. Gonna try ghost rings for a bit.

That's my plan as well.

How would you guys rate the A300UP against the new Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical as it pertains to build quality and features?

I've yet to see any 940s come through a class, so I can't comment.

Well, the 940 thread points to several issues. Including one where Mossberg had to replace the barrel entirely.

So far, the Yooper doesn't seem to have to have a new barrel before it runs.

So...I'd probably rate the Beretta above Mossberg.

But then again, I wouldn't buy a new Mossberg anyways.
