Beretta has been refining the A400 platform for over a decade, and the A400 Xtreme Plus is the current high-water mark. This 12 gauge semi-auto is chambered for 3.5-inch shells and will cycle everything from 2.75-inch target loads up to full-power goose magnums without needing any manual adjustments between loads. The 26-inch Steelium Plus barrel brings a technology normally reserved for high-end competition guns into the field, featuring a 14-inch extended forcing cone and Beretta's tri-alloy cold hammer-forged construction for tight, consistent patterns no matter what you're running through it. The 7×7 stepped ventilated rib gives you a wide, clear sight plane, and the combination of the fiber optic front bead and steel mid-bead makes sight alignment fast in any light.
The real story with this gun is the recoil system. Beretta addresses recoil at multiple points simultaneously: the Kick-Off Mega uses two hydraulic shock absorbers in the stock to handle the first recoil peak at ignition, while the Kick-Off 3 unit just behind the receiver absorbs the secondary hit when the bolt slams home. A soft comb on the stock further reduces cheek slap. The combined result is a claimed 70% reduction in felt recoil, and in real-world use behind heavy 3.5-inch steel loads, the difference compared to inertia guns or standard gas guns is very noticeable. This isn't just about comfort either – less muzzle rise means faster follow-up shots when the flock is working.
Beretta paid close attention to the ergonomics that actually matter when you're hunting in November. The charging handle and bolt release are both oversized from the factory, sized to work with cold, gloved hands. The loading port is enlarged and beveled to reduce thumb bite and make reloading under pressure faster. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail if you want to run a red dot for turkeys or specialty hunting. The aluminum alloy receiver and the OptimaBore HP barrel finish are both treated with Aqua Tech Shield, a corrosion-resistant coating designed to hold up to salt spray, rain, mud, and sand. The GORE Optifade Timber pattern wraps both the stock and receiver in a camo that was purpose-built for timber and flooded hardwood environments. Five Black Edition extended Optima HP choke tubes (Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder) are included, covering everything from tight turkey setups to open passing shots on geese. A hard carry case is included.
Some owners do report the occasional hiccup during the first 100-200 rounds, particularly with lighter loads. Running standard hunting loads (1-1/8 oz or heavier) through it early on is the most common recommendation, and the gun typically settles in quickly. That said, quite a few owners report zero issues right out of the box. Make sure the gas system is clean and the gun is lightly lubed before your first session.
The A400 Xtreme Plus is chambered for 3.5-inch super magnum shells and will cycle 2.75-inch, 3-inch, and 3.5-inch loads without any adjustments. This makes it one of the more versatile semi-autos on the market, capable of going from light dove loads to full-power goose loads in the same hunt. The B-Link gas system is designed to handle that wide range cleanly.
Yes, and it's one of the things that genuinely sets this gun apart. The Kick-Off Mega uses hydraulic shock absorbers to address both recoil peaks – the initial blast and the bolt slamming back into battery – rather than just softening one of them. Combined with the soft comb on the stock, the gun sits noticeably flatter after the shot compared to most other semi-autos, which matters a lot when you're running 3.5-inch steel at geese all morning.
GORE Optifade is a pattern system developed with First Lite and backed by research into how birds see color and contrast, rather than just trying to look realistic to human eyes. The Timber version is designed for flooded timber, hardwood bottoms, and wooded swamp environments where broken bark and leaf patterns dominate. It's a natural fit for hunters who spend time in wooded duck holes or hunting through standing timber.
The receiver on the A400 Xtreme Plus is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail, though the rail itself is not included. This makes it easy to add a red dot or reflex sight, which a lot of turkey hunters find useful. For standard waterfowl hunting the fiber optic and mid-bead setup works well, but the option is there if you want it.
The A400 Xtreme Plus uses Beretta's Optima HP choke system, which has very broad aftermarket support from manufacturers like Kicks, Patternmaster, and Carlson's. The five extended Black Edition chokes included with this model cover the most common constrictions for waterfowl and turkey hunting, so most hunters won't need to buy additional tubes right away.
