For clay shooters and competitive shooters who demand repeatable performance and soft, controllable recoil during long sessions, the right semi-automatic shotgun can make the difference between consistent scores and frustration. Focused ergonomics, durable construction, and a gas system that tempers recoil are the priorities when selecting a sporting gun that will perform round after round.

BERETTA A400 L SPORTING is a semi-automatic, gas-operated 12 gauge shotgun engineered specifically for clay shooting and competition.

Key features and what they mean on the range

The A400 L Sporting pairs a 30″ Chrome-lined Steelium Plus barrel with a 3+1 capacity, giving shooters a long, pointable sight plane and immediate follow-up capability. Its gas-operated auto-regulating system provides consistent, soft recoil which reduces shooter fatigue and improves follow-up speed — crucial for sporting clays where targets come from varied angles.
