Ask around at any sporting clays club and you will find A400 Xcels in half the gun racks. There is a reason for that. The Blink gas operating system cycles noticeably faster than most semi-autos out there, with Beretta claiming follow-up shots up to 36 percent quicker, and the soft-shooting gas action keeps your head on the stock for that second bird on true pairs. This version wears a 30-inch Steelium barrel with a tapered flat vent rib, a white front bead with steel mid-bead, and a 3-inch chamber that runs 2 3/4-inch target loads all day long.
Recoil management is where this gun earns its keep. Beretta's Kick-Off system in the walnut stock soaks up a big chunk of felt recoil, which matters a lot more on station eight of a 100-target course than it does in a catalog. The stock also ships with adjustment shims so you can tweak drop and cast to fit your build, and the sporting-style grip has a palm swell that settles nicely into the hand. Up front, the ergonomic forend keeps your lead hand locked in without feeling bulky.
The receiver wears Beretta's laser-engraved Aquatech Shield coating in Wolf Gray, which looks sharp and shrugs off weather and sweat better than a traditional finish. Enlarged controls are the other big upgrade on this generation. The oversized bolt handle, bolt release, and opened-up loading port are easy to run with cold fingers or a gloved hand, and quick reloads between stations become second nature. You also get three extended Optima-Choke HP tubes in Cylinder, Modified, and Full, so you are covered from close rabbit targets to long crossers right out of the box.
At roughly 7.6 pounds, the 30-inch model hits a sweet spot for sporting clays and skeet, with enough weight up front to smooth your swing without feeling sluggish. Whether you are chasing your first registered score or just tired of getting beat up by a fixed-breech gun, this is one of those shotguns that makes the whole game easier.
That is exactly what it was built for. The 30-inch barrel gives you a long, smooth sighting plane for crossers, the gas action tames recoil for high-volume days, and the fast Blink cycling helps on true pairs. It has become one of the most common semi-autos on competitive clay courses for good reason.
Between the gas operating system and Beretta's Kick-Off recoil reduction built into the stock, this is one of the softest-shooting 12 gauges you can put on your shoulder. Beretta rates the Kick-Off system at up to 50 percent less felt recoil compared to a standard stock. For anyone shooting 100-plus targets in a day, the difference is real.
This model ships with three extended Optima-Choke HP tubes in Cylinder, Modified, and Full. The Optima HP system is widely supported, so choke makers like Briley, Muller, and Carlson's all offer tubes that fit if you want more constriction options down the road.
Yes. The A400 Xcel Sporting includes shims that let you adjust drop and cast so the gun points where you look. Combined with the palm swell grip and roughly 14.35-inch length of pull, most folks can get a comfortable fit without a trip to a stock fitter.
