The modern upland and waterfowl hunter needs a gun that balances follow-up speed, durability in harsh environments, and recoil management for long days in the field. Tactical shooters and serious sportsmen will appreciate a shotgun built around proven engineering and real-world features that make one-shot follow-ups faster and more comfortable.

BERETTA A400 XTREME PLUS is designed to deliver rapid-fire performance and long-term reliability for hunting and target work.

Why this semi-auto stands out

The A400 Xtreme Plus uses Blink technology to cycle roughly 36% faster than competing semiautomatic systems, giving shooters quicker follow-up shots on moving targets. Its Steelium Plus barrel and OptimaBore HP finish are engineered for superior patterning with a wide range of hunting loads while resisting water, sand, salt spray and powder erosion—key for marsh and coastal use.

Recoil control and handling

Beretta combined the Kick-Off recoil reduction system with an ultra-soft Micro‑Core butt‑pad and a soft comb that directs recoil parallel to the cheek weld. The result is reduced felt recoil and faster reacquisition on target—useful during extended hunts or when shooting multiple targets.

Field-proven ergonomics and reliability

The enlarged loading port, extended charging handle, and bolt release speed reloads and simplify handling when wearing gloves. The step rib with an integral mid‑bead and fiber‑optic front bead improves sight picture, and the lengthened forcing cones help produce tighter patterns across pellet spreads.

Fit for purpose: hunting and target shooting

The 28″ Steelium Plus barrel comes with five black extended Optima HP choke tubes, giving you patterning flexibility for everything from tight upland shots to longer-range waterfowl presentations. Aqua Technology and OptimaBore HP surface protection mean the gun continues to perform in wet or salty conditions. The Gore Optifade stock and receiver finish also reduce glare and add low-visibility concealment in natural environments.

At a retail price around $2,049, the A400 Xtreme Plus represents a package focused on performance: rapid cycling, advanced barrel metallurgy, recoil mitigation, and weatherproof finishes all tuned for field use. Check current availability: Check availability
