The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus (Beretta part no. J42XL18L) is a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun engineered for hard-charging waterfowl and turkey hunters who put in long days in the blind. Beretta’s exclusive Steelium Plus barrel construction cuts felt recoil noticeably compared to a standard barrel, while a step rib and enlarged controls make the gun easier to manipulate with gloved hands in cold, wet weather. A Mossy Oak Original Shadow Grass finish blends the gun into marsh environments for close, confident shots. Fast cycling and a reversible crossbolt safety round out a shotgun built to run hard, season after season.
