Why the platform stands out

The BERETTA A400 XPLOR ACTION is offered in a left-handed configuration and tips the scale at just 6.7 pounds, which improves pointability and swing for waterfowl and small-game scenarios. Its 20 gauge chambering balances reduced recoil with effective patterning, making it a versatile choice for hunters who want lighter carry weight without sacrificing terminal performance.

Key features and tactical advantages

Action and gas system

This semi-auto uses Beretta’s gas operation with a compensating exhaust valve and self-cleaning piston. The result is reliable cycling across loads and reduced maintenance during extended field use. Blink technology enables up to four shots in less than one second, providing the fastest semi-auto cadence available for reactive shots in the field.

Ergonomics and control

Updated lines and checkering on the forend with the Beretta logo are easy to clean and give secure contact while swinging. The walnut stock, bronze-toned aluminum-alloy receiver and blued barrel present a classic aesthetic without adding unnecessary bulk. The Micro-Core pad and chrome-plated trigger help manage recoil and maintain consistent shot recovery. Length of pull is 14.5 inches and sighting is handled with a fiber optic front sight and scope mount grooves on the receiver for optics.

Barrel, choke and patterning

The 26-inch vent rib barrel paired with Optima HP choke offers tight, predictable patterns ideal for clay targets and wing-shooting alike. The shotgun accepts different sizes and types of shells, expanding its utility across seasons and shot sizes.
