I have had difficulty determining a fair price for the one I have had for many years.It appears to be a rather scarce model from the lack of listings on GB and etc. It is wood and blue and in great shape. Any assistance appreciated.

It is a Beretta 303 shotgun with the Browning name stamped on it so price accordingly. Around here that would probably be in the $450-$550 range with the former if 3" chamber and full choke and the latter if 2 3/4" chamber, 28" barrel and the buyer wants it for a sporting clays gun. They will run a bit less than the follow up Beretta 390 as the 303/B80 typically had fixed chokes and came in either 2 3/4" or 3" chambers.
They are nice guns but not as readily versatile as the later models. Browning bought them as a stop gap measure as their previous attempt at a gas operated semiauto was not very successful and they needed to come up with a new plan.

That about says it all. Nice guns but really no collector value. Will depend greatly on how long you want to hold it, condition and configuration.

I sold a similar configuration about 6yrs ago for $450. I cant recall exactly but I am pretty sure it had screw in chokes but not sure on Chamber length. Average to above average condition and definitely not a safe queen.
