The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus is built for hunters and field shooters who demand consistent patterns, reliable cycling in adverse conditions, and reduced felt recoil. This article breaks down the key features, field performance, and why this semi-automatic 20 gauge is worth a close look for serious shooters.

BERETTA A400 XTREME PLUS

Design and Barrel Technology

The A400 Xtreme Plus features Beretta’s Steelium Plus barrel technology — the first time this advanced barrel construction has appeared on a hunting shotgun. Steelium Plus is engineered to provide superior shot patterns across a wide range of hunting loads while optimizing barrel harmonics and shot conditioning for consistent downrange performance.

Steelium Plus Barrel and Step Rib

With a 28″ Steelium Plus vent rib barrel that includes a step rib, an integral mid-bead, and a fiber optic front bead, the sight picture is fast and precise in changing light. These elements combine to help you get on target quickly and maintain consistent patterns from close to extended ranges.

Performance and Handling

Recoil Mitigation and Controls

The A400 Xtreme Plus includes Beretta’s Kick-Off system and an extended charging handle plus an enlarged loading port for easier manipulation in cold, wet, or gloved conditions. These practical features reduce shooter fatigue and speed follow-up shots — a tangible advantage in the field.

Why 20 Gauge?

The 20 gauge balance offers lighter weight and reduced recoil compared with larger gauges while still delivering effective payload and pattern density for upland birds and small to medium waterfowl. At 3.50″ chambering, the A400 Xtreme Plus handles a broad spectrum of hunting loads with authority.

Fit, Finish, and Value

The OD green synthetic stock resists the elements and keeps weight down for long days on the move. With a retail price around $2,049, the A400 Xtreme Plus positions itself as a premium hunting shotgun that brings competition-derived features to the field.

For hunters who want best-in-class patterning, reduced felt recoil, and reliable operation in adverse conditions, the BERETTA A400 XTREME PLUS is a purpose-built option. Check current availability and buy through our shop page to review specs and purchase from the retailer.
