Beretta 1301 Tactical 12 Gauge Blue/Black Shotgun

A: Martin, I have seen some strange things price wise including up to a few hundred increase. I have also seen decreases but not to the same extent/amount as the increases. Seems that certain popular modes will hold a premium no matter where you go.

A: Buds website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day. last updated -

A: Hi Martin, Buds uses an automatic inventory price update engine that runs every 20mins. Prices are tied directly to stock levels and will change as stock numbers change. As inventory numbers go down, prices go up and vice- versa. Usually when popular items get low in stock.

A: Yes Nicholas, this batch is the latest release with the large textured updated bolt release and an oversized reversible safety button. Buds should be able to provide the manufacture date at (859) 368-0371 (available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday) or the "Blue Chat Now" bottom at the bottom right of the page.

A: yes these are the latest models with the updated bolt release

A: David, yes Sir. It uses an interchangeable choke system allows for maximum flexibility based on use and needs. Cheers and stay safe!

A: William, the specifications are identical for Both. Beretta Customer Service may be able to cite the exact difference at 1-800-BERETTA (2373882) extension 2003

A: LE Model (the one you selected) barrel is a fixed choke and not screw in. LE model didn't opt to include the new choked models. The J131T18C model is few hundreds more expensive but come with screw in chokes. I hope this helps!

A: YES! It will RUN 2 3/4. Capacity of 5+1 with 2 3/4-inch shells. The only thing it wouldn't eat was Aguila mini shells. I hope this helps!

A: The 1301 Tactical is offered in 12 gauge only at this point and features a 3 inch chamber. In a small, lightweight shotgun like this one, you really don't want to shoot 3 ½ inch shells anyway - it's not intended to be a turkey hunting gun. Above is a quote directly from berreta usa website. So yes it will run 3" and shorter.

A: Stephen, this gun is chambered in 3 inch, so yes it will take 2 3/4" shells, however it will not cycle the mini shells.

A: Stephen, this shotgun has a 3 inch chamber and will run shorter shells like 2.75 no issues. The mini-shells do not have enough powder/velocity to reliably cycle though. Cheers and stay safe!
