Default Beretta A400 shotgun anyone have one?
Anyone hunted with this Beretta ?
Curious how it compares to Benelli SBE2
Beretta claims it kicks less and cycles faster

My dad just got the A400 and its a nice gun. Not sure how it compares to Benelli. Mexico dove outfitters and Argentina dove outfitters that we have been to, where you will shoot over 1,000 shells per hunt, use only Berettas.

They are light and have little recoil. My six year old daughter shot mine and it didn't move her much. The only problem I have is the metal around the ejection port is wearing. Its actually created a sharp edge just inside the action. Beretta rep says that is normal due to the light alloy that the gun is made with. Light or extremely durable...can't have both.

X10... Just bought a400 and have had xtrema 2 for 6 yrs prior. Rhe a400 does kick less and I've shot over 300 rounds with NO jams. Sweet gun and Baretta makes some really nice ext range chokes for it

Is the A400 also called the Competition 1301?...I think that's the numbers I saw today.

I know I sold an A300 the other day and, it was friggin' SWEET! Although I didn't get to shoot it, it felt great, light and, balanced. They have an additional spring on the barrel that most other shotguns don't have. It's supposed to really reduce recoil.
