Beretta A400 Xcel Sporting 12 Gauge 30”
The Beretta A400 Xcel Sporting 12 Gauge 30” is a high-performance semi-automatic shotgun engineered for competitive clay shooting and serious enthusiasts who demand speed, balance, and reliability. Built on the advanced A400 platform, this model delivers cutting-edge technology combined with classic sporting ergonomics for a superior shooting experience.
Performance & Technology
At the heart of the A400 Xcel Sporting is Beretta’s innovative Blink gas operating system, designed to cycle 36% faster than traditional systems. This allows for lightning-fast follow-up shots, making it ideal for sporting clays, trap, and skeet shooting where speed and consistency matter most.
Recoil Reduction & Comfort
The integrated Kick-Off Plus recoil reduction system significantly enhances shooting comfort by reducing felt recoil by up to 50%. This system, combined with an ergonomic wood sporting stock featuring a palm swell and adjustable drop and cast, ensures better control, reduced fatigue, and improved target acquisition during extended shooting sessions.
Enhanced Design & Handling
The redesigned receiver features a modern profile with a durable Aquatech Shield grey coating and laser engraving for added corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. Enlarged controls—including an extended bolt handle, bolt release, and loading port—make operation smooth and effortless, even in demanding conditions.
The shotgun also includes a redesigned ergonomic forend with enhanced checkering for a secure grip and the option to add aftermarket weights for perfect balance customization.
