Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Beretta Mato 338

This is one of the Beretta Mato rifles offered some time ago as Beretta's foray into the sport rifle market. They were designed on a Dakota 97 action, and many of the initial rifles were still marked as Dakota. This one is in near-new condition. They are a CRF action with the 3-position Model 70-like wing safety. A very stout and well-made rifle. It has Warne Maxima slotted bases on it, so most cross-bolt style rings will work.

$895 + $25 shipping

Weight please?

Don, it shows 7.2 lbs on my digital scale.

Thanks Biebs.
24" barrel?

Don, that's it....actually looks like 24 1/2". I've been told that Lothar Walther supplied the barrels.

What does one get when some very good features from a Mauser and Mod. 70 action are combined with a very good barrel? A Dakota 76 action with a Lothar Walther barrel and all for under a grand. That bottom metal looks like my two screw one piece bottom metal from Ted Blackburn. Mine holds four in the magazine, does this one?

If I didn't already have a custom Mod. 70 in .338 Winny I would be all over this. I easily have more into my rifle then this one is selling for. It is going to sell fast.

i have one in 270 and picked out another in 270 for my hunting buddy. terrifically accurate and great triggers, we both love em

Gar, I've had them in 270 and 30-06.....both were shooters for sure.

I owned this exact rifle in a 270 some years ago and it was fantastic. It was also a tack driver. This is a great sporting weight hunting rifle and it won’t disappoint. As many of you know Biebs is a first class guy.

d500, I'm a first class guy... if I'm the only one in the classroom :-)

Hey Biebs,
At least you're honest. (But I knew that.)

PS. I am working on this.

Noted gunsmith James Anderson saw I was selling this rifle. He said he worked at Dakota at the time, and helped develop the Mato for Beretta. He designed the stock for Bell & Carlson, and it was later used for the Remington TI series. It has an aluminum bedding block. He said Stuart Satterlee, the gunmaker, assembled the rifles at Dakota for shipping. Small world.!

Back up.
