Beretta's A400 Xcel Sporting is a semiauto competition that is faster-cycling, softer-shooting and better balanced than anything else on the market. The sleek, low profile, action feeds all types of shells making it also suited for the occasional upland or waterfowl hunt. Its raised parallel comb lets the eye glide naturally along the raised target rib and to align the dual-bead sights. The unique Blink technology, is a gas-operating system that is capable of delivering two shots in less than half a second, while also integrating an easy-maintenance self-cleaning piston. The cold-hammer forged barrel is made of Beretta's Steelium with a chrome-plated bore and Optima Bore HP choke tubes. The receiver has a bright-blue finish, while the stock features a Micro-Core buttpad. This 12 gauge has a 30" barrel.
