Performance and core technologies

The A400 Xcel Multitarget is built on the A400 action and uses Blink technology, delivering exceptional follow-up speed—capable of firing multiple rounds in rapid succession. Chambered for 12ga with 3″ capability and a 30″ Steelium barrel, the shotgun combines a chrome-plated bore for corrosion resistance with cold-hammer-forged concentricity for repeatable patterns. Capacity is 4rd and the shotgun ships with OptimaChoke HP options (IC M IM OCHP) to tune patterns for each discipline.

Why Steelium and Blink matter

Steelium barrels provide consistent shot strings and longevity; the chrome-plated bore reduces wear from high-volume range sessions and diverse ammunition types. Blink action minimizes lock time between shots, letting you stay on target when fast doubles are required.

View product details and pricing — the A400 Xcel Multitarget is listed at $3,389, offering competitive features often found on higher-priced specialized guns.

Ergonomics, adjustability, and recoil management

Fit and balance

The B-Fast system provides 4-way drop and cast adjustment plus reversible shims for left- or right-hand use; the adjustable rib and balance cap let you tune point-of-impact for trap, skeet, or sporting clays. Grade 2.5 walnut stock and an anodized silver receiver present a premium feel without sacrificing function.

Recoil and follow-through

A Micro Core recoil pad and optional Kick-Off system reduce perceived recoil, while the oversized bolt handle and quick takedown make on-range maintenance and reloads straightforward. Weight is 7.69 lbs—balanced for swing and recovery.

For shooters seeking one shotgun capable of mastering all three clay disciplines with factory adjustability and modern semiauto speed, the A400 Xcel Multitarget is a serious contender. Check current availability on the shop page and confirm purchase and shipping options with the retailer.
