The Beretta A400 Xcel Sporting KO 12 Gauge Shotgun, 32-Inch Barrel, Walnut is Beretta’s longest-barreled A400 Xcel Sporting configuration (brand part no. J42CK12), built for trap and long-range clays where extra barrel length pays off in swing and sight picture. An adjustable Monte Carlo comb lets shooters dial in their own cheek weld, and the Kick-Off hydraulic recoil system tucked into the walnut stock keeps a full day of targets comfortable. A blued metal finish and crossbolt safety round out a purpose-built competition gun.
