The Beretta A400 Xcel Sporting Vittoria 12 Gauge Shotgun, 30-Inch Barrel is a competition-grade 12 gauge from Beretta (brand part no. J42CJ18V) built for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The Vittoria configuration pairs the same reliable gas-piston action found across the A400 Xcel Sporting line with a 30-inch barrel for a long, stable sight picture and a walnut stock with field-style checkering. It is a clean, no-frills path into Beretta’s target-gun lineup for shooters who want proven reliability on the clays course.
