Performance: Blink Technology and Field Speed

The A400 Xtreme Plus uses Beretta’s Blink technology to cycle 36 percent quicker than other semiauto shotguns. That faster action translates directly to faster, more reliable follow-up shots on flushing upland birds or fast-flying waterfowl. Built-in rails allow quick optical mounts for those who run red dots or low-power scopes for challenging light or distance.

Barrel, Chokes, and Patterning

The Steelium Plus barrel and OptimaBore HP finish are engineered for superior patterning and environmental resistance. The model ships with a 30″ barrel and five black extended Optima HP choke tubes, giving shooters a full spread of patterning options for different loads and ranges. Lengthened forcing cones and the step rib with an integral mid-bead plus a fiber optic front bead aid target acquisition and tighter patterns across hunting loads.

Ergonomics, Recoil Mitigation, and Durability

Beretta combines a synthetic Realtree Max-7 stock with the Kick-Off system and an ultra-soft Micro-Core butt-pad to reduce felt recoil and align recoil parallel to the cheek mount. The soft comb further minimizes cheek sting for extended shooting. Practical field upgrades like an enlarged loading port, extended charging handle and bolt release, and Aqua Technology protective coatings make this shotgun resistant to water, sand, salt spray and powder abrasion.

What to Expect on the Range

Expect rapid, reliable cycling, consistent patterns from a tuned Steelium Plus barrel, and a noticeably softer felt recoil profile that helps stay on target for follow-ups. At a listed price of $1,958.99, this platform targets serious hunters and shooters who want high-performance features straight from the factory.

For hunters who prioritize speed, durability, and recoil control in a semi-auto platform, the BERETTA A400 XTREME PLUS is a standout option. View product details and pricing or Check current availability—clicking either link will take you to the shop page to purchase from the retailer.
