Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the upland purist’s semi-auto. It’s for the hunter who covers miles of CRP fields and creek bottoms, where a fast, reliable gun that points naturally is non-negotiable. If you face long days with varied shots—from close-flushing woodcock to crossing ringnecks—the A400 Upland’s blend of soft recoil, swift cycling, and classic handling makes it a top-tier companion. It’s also an excellent choice for the shooter who wants one versatile shotgun for hunting, clay sports, and even waterfowl with a simple choke change.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The recoil reduction is genuinely transformative, allowing for more focused shooting. Reliability across all loads is legendary. The nickel and wood finish is both beautiful and highly corrosion-resistant. The Blink system’s speed is noticeable on fast doubles. It’s compatible with a wide range of aftermarket Beretta chokes and accessories, like Briley tubes.
Cons: The premium materials and engineering command a premium price point. The classic stock dimensions may not suit every shooter without adjustment—that said, Beretta offers various stock options. Some hunters dedicated to over-unders might find the semi-auto action less traditional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this shotgun handle light 2 3/4″ target loads reliably?
A: Absolutely. The Blink gas system is designed to cycle a huge range of ammunition without manual adjustments, from 24-gram target loads up to 3″ magnums. It’s one of the most reliable semi-autos on the market for mixed-use shooting.
Q: Is the nickel finish durable in harsh conditions?
A: Yes, the nickel plating on the receiver and trigger guard provides superior resistance to rust, moisture, and wear compared to standard blued finishes. It wipes down easily after a wet day in the field, making it ideal for hunters who don’t baby their gear.
Q: What is the length of pull, and can it be adjusted?
A: The standard length of pull is approximately 14 3/8″. While the stock is not field-adjustable, Beretta sells optional stock shim kits for drop and cast, and different sized recoil pads are available to fine-tune the fit. An FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, including this one.
