The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus is a gas-operated semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun (Beretta part no. J42XN16) engineered for waterfowl and upland hunters who need fast follow-up shots in the field. Its Blink gas system cycles roughly 36 percent quicker than a typical semi-auto, and the Steelium Plus barrel with OptimaBore HP finish delivers dense, consistent patterns from any hunting load. Built-in rails let you mount an optic for tighter shot placement on passing birds, and the synthetic stock combines Beretta’s Kick-Off recoil system with an ultra-soft Micro-Core butt pad to soak up the punch of full 3.5-inch magnum shells. The stock and receiver wear an Optifade Timber finish that blends into wooded cover, and an Aqua Technology coating protects the metal from rain, mud, and salt spray. Made by Beretta, it’s a serious tool for hunters who demand speed and durability.
