DSG Black Friday Remmy 11-87 v Beretta A300

[senetor24]

Hi guys DSG has a synthetic 11-87 for $399 after $100 rebate and a camo Beretta A300 for $599. Shot both like both and I guess I can tinker with the Beretta to get a "custom" fit. Outside of buying both where do you lean? I'd be using for clays and waterfowl.

That is a really good deal on the 1187

1187. I have too many scatter guns and may still need to add 1 at this price

I am looking at the same deals. I think the Beretta is a better gun.

It is a nicer gun. However, I would say it is not as good of a deal as a $400 1187

^agree. I do like the bolt release on the a300. My 11-87 supermag got real loose after a couple of seasons waterfowling with it. It wouldn't keep the bolt locked back. If it was locked back and you bumped it, it would slam home. Not safe. I would get the a300.

If you intend to shoot a lot of sporting clays get the A300. The 11-87 won't hold up to a steady diet of shooting.

Thanks for the comments! The bolt slamming home if bumped is very concerning. A300 it is.

A300 was BF sale last year and when I got there all gone so good luck. Paid $775 for mine at a later date.
Good luck

I'm buying an A300. Remington QC has gone downhill to the point that I'm not willing to risk it.

We looked at the A300 last night and I really wanted to like it. The bolt release though was awful. Awful as in you needed to whack it with a hammer it was so hard to push in. The other thing is the little button under the feed ramp that you need to push in order to reset the bolt hold open feature. The very first thing I do when uncasing my gun at the range is to open the action. The button seems counterintuitive to safety. The gun felt really good but I couldn't get past the bolt issue.

Beretta a Remmy will never be.........

A friend of mine has an a300 that we shoot clays with often. I like it. The button will loosen up a bit with some use. Go shoot a few rounds of skeet with it; you got a good deal. Happy thanksgiving.

Briley and others make an oversized bolt release button (admittedly added future cost). The little button for chamber opening is odd but becomes automatic pretty quickly. I have an 11-87 Premier (considered the best of the model), its a great looking well made gun that I shoot well, but the A300 still feels better to me.

Anyone know if this is at all DSG locations and what DSG policy is on out of state buyers? Will be in WV for Thanksgiving / BF and would like to pick one up.

It is on the national flyer so I would assume they will be for sale in WV. As for buying out of state it is unregulated so you're good to go. I'll be buying mine in PA.

I bought a gun from Dicks last night and the final question was "what state do you reside in?" I'm not sure if that's part of the regular 7743 (or whatever it's called) or if that question is specific to Dicks. I'd call the particular store you're going to before fighting the crowds.

More importantly know that their Black Friday sale begins at 6:00 PM on Thursday. I suspect the A300s will sell out as fast as the $199 10-22s.

I know its unregulated, just didnt know if anyone was aware of any strange company policies they might have. Buddy of mine picked up an 870 at like 2:00 PM last year on BF at the store in Bel Air. No crowd to fight. Went with him, expecting it to be crazy and we breezed through the process.

I'm not a big fan of Dicks.
