Beretta A400 Xplor Action KO 12 Gauge 26″ Semi-Auto Shotgun Walnut

Description

There's a reason the A400 keeps showing up in duck blinds, dove fields, and clay ranges year after year. Beretta's Blink gas system cycles fast enough to put four shells downrange in under a second, and the self-compensating design digests everything from light 2-3/4" target loads to heavy 3" waterfowl shells without adjustment. This KO version adds Beretta's Kick-Off system, a set of hydraulic dampeners built into the stock that soak up recoil before it ever reaches your shoulder. Combined with the MicroCore recoil pad, Beretta claims up to a 70 percent reduction in felt recoil, and after a long day in the blind or a few hundred rounds of sporting clays, your shoulder will notice the difference.

A Working Gun That Looks Like a Beretta

The bronze anodized receiver against the blued 26" Steelium barrel and Xtra Grain walnut stock gives this gun real presence in the field. The checkering is crisp and functional, the forend carries the Beretta Trident, and the whole package weighs in at a trim 6.7 pounds with a 46" overall length. That 26" barrel keeps the swing quick and lively, which upland hunters and skeet regulars will appreciate, while the vent rib and fiber optic front sight make target acquisition fast in any light.

Setting Up Your A400 Xplor Action KO

Beretta ships this one ready to work. You get three Optima-Bore HP choke tubes (cylinder, modified, and full) with a wrench, plus stock shims so you can adjust cast and drop to fit your build. The crossbolt safety is reversible for left-handed use, and sling swivel studs come installed for carrying it through the field. Everything arrives in a fitted hard case.

If you want one 12 gauge that genuinely handles waterfowl, upland birds, and weekend clays without compromise, this is the gun the rest of the category gets measured against.
