![]() ![]() Then, when you get home, smooth sand it and put a few coats of Tru-Oil on it. And again.ĭon’t sand off too much as you will wait around for ever waiting for that wood to grow back. If the gun actually does shoot high for you, start sanding the top of the comb to bring it down. Do it premounted and also low gun is you shooting sporting that way. Do this a few times so that you get an accurate reading. You can quickly see where your pattern impacts. Paint it, stand back about 30 yards (a typical sporting clays target distance), aim at the center mark you put on the plate and fire. If you want more down bend, the quick and dirty way to do it is to take some coarse sand paper, a sanding block and some ammo out to your local pattern plate. You don’t want to shim it down too much as it will bend the tube containing the mainspring and slow down the action. It shimmed it down slightly, but enough for my purposes. I loosened the stock and inserted the shim on the top between the head of the receiver and the stock. Mine didn’t so I made a shim by cutting a “U” shaped piece out of a plastic shotshell hull. Most 303s didn’t come with shims, though some did. The second choice, and what I did with mine, was to shim the stock down slightly. If the Monte Carlo trap stock is too high for you when shooting sporting, you have some choices. ![]() ![]() I love my 303 trap and do use it for sporting. It is much softer shooting than the new guns and very reliable if you keep a fresh mainspring in there every 5~10K rounds. Yes, the 303 is easily one of the best Berettas ever made. I know you shoot them, can you please provide a few thoughts on this? If I typically shoot a fairly deep drop on my guns maybe I should stick with the 391’s though I really would rather not, I do not need the flexibilty of light to heavy loads and I do not need the additional cleaning steps. I am looking at a 303 12ga special trap for sporting clays but I am concerned with the POI on this gun and the ability to adjust it much lower being a trap gun with a modified monte carlo stock. I have a beautiful A303 in a 20 gauge that I love for grouse hunting, the best weight and balance of any 20 ga auto there is to date. ![]()
