I think you can actually get a smaller barrel for it - I believe any of the optima barrels would fit in this action if you're so inclined 🤗 Food for thought that extra 5 in is worth every extra foot per second in my opinion and doesn't hamper room clearing one bit if you do drills on a regular basis 🙏

1301 was made for the US, we had a regulation that required it to carry 5 or less rounds for sporting purposes. Now they build for individual markets. Overmolding breaks down over years. I have a overmolded ruger stock that feels like old gummy bears.

@Trenchgun975 жыл бұрын
I don't think we'll be able to get the 1301 Comp Pro in the US - How do you think an A400 Xtreme Plus with 26 inch barrel would fair in competition in contrast with the 1301 Comp Pro? Because the A400 seems to have everything the 1301 Pro does, except for maybe the upgrades to the way the gun feeds. The downside is it's got an extra 2 inches of barrel The upside to the A400 is it's got the extended forcing cone barrel that is suppose to help patterning and reduce recoil. But as far as I can tell, the 1301 Comp Pro is basically taking all the stuff they created for the A400 Xtreme Plus and then putting it on the 1301 Comp. The rails and barrels of the 1301 comp can be put onto an A400 Xtreme Plus, so there seems to be cross compatibility of parts.

There’s no age restrictions on joining a club, once a member you’ll be able to use any of the rifles under supervision. You can even at 13 obtain a Shotgun Certificate but it’s usually better if a parent gets one as well. Really the best thing to do is join a local club and continue clay pigeon shooting 🙂

All these Comp/Pro type of flag ship guns still need to go to a gunsmith to get the loading port opened further. I applaud for your honest review. I think most shooters will be better off getting a regular model and send it to a reputable shop or gunsmith for proper tuning.
@EnglishShooting5 жыл бұрын
It's a shame these guns don't come 100% ready, the Breda B12i is the closest but still needs work. I still think it's worth buying the Comp/Pro models, whether it's an M3K, B12i, 1301 Comp Pro or M2 SP. You get a lot extra for the money, take the M3K over the M3000, for £75 you get the extended tube, enlarged bolt release and enlarged safety.

Thoughts on this compared to the stoeger m3k ?
@EnglishShooting5 жыл бұрын
Both are out of the box and ready to go, the 1301 slightly more so. The M3K is a lower quality gun and will require more work to get running as slick as the 1301. The biggest difference is the price, the 1301 is going to be 3 times the price. I think it's worth it for the 1301, and I've own one and a M3000. If you're looking to get started you're not going to go wrong with the M3K, if you're looking to compete on an international level go for the 1301.
@msi19853 жыл бұрын
I'm curious if you ended up getting a stoeger I had two friends with the m3000 series and that gun had a very hard run in before it would cycle everything they wanted. For the price they definitely do fit the bill but there's a few things fit and finish and functionality wise that are left to be desired.

I own a few Beretta's so am not bias....The M2 SP also cycles on 28grm loads which surprised me as my SBE needed 32grms and up... Also to note that the M2 SP is 10 plus 1 which is also a benefit....

The extension tube isn't standard in the U.S. In fact, you have to remove the restrictor rod when you get it, just to make it a 5+1 capacity. That's fine though, I don't need the extension tube. I got mine a couple months ago, but I haven't taken it to the shotgun range yet. I can't wait to try it out and see if the recoil reduction features really make a difference.
