Title: Betty Beretta gets a KS double
Post by: WyoHunter on April 28, 2014, 01:54:00 AM
Betty Beretta (my 303 Beretta) and I were successful this past week in KS on two beautiful gobblers. The first pic is of my first bird that had a beautiful dark cinnamon tail and rump feathers. The pic is a little out of focus. Both had good spurs and beards. It was very windy and gobblers were still with hens but Betty Beretta and  Hevi-13 7's made the trip a success.  :icon_thumright:

Is it an A-303 Beretta?

I'd like to see a good picture of it.

My Betty Beretta is an A303. As you can see she is in full camo which she prefers. Here's a pic of her with Baby Beretta my 20 ga. AL 391 Urika. Great turkey guns!

I had a camo skin on mine for a while.

I have a strap that looks similar to the one on it.  A Butler Creek?

I'm curious what you did to attach the strap at the front behind the mag cap.  Those guns were not made with synthetic stocks and I've never found a simple end cap with swivel connector.  I saw an and cap with a large loop on it for a whopping $50 but passed.  I don't want to tap the stock for a swivel and the absence of an endcap with a swivel stud limits the options.

On my A303 I drilled a hole in the magazine cap and attached a QD swivel base. On the 20 ga. the swivel connection is a separate piece that fits between the magazine cap and the magazine tube. It came with the gun. Both are fitted with "The Claw" slings that I really like because they DO NOT slip off your shoulder.  Both butt stocks are fitted with a QD swivel base stud.

Not sure I'll be hunting the Black Hills NF in WY this year. Lots of snow and the birds have been having a hard time the last couple of years. Good hearing from you Greg!  :icon_thumright:
