Description
The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus Kick-Off Semi-Auto 12 Ga, 28″ Barrel, 3.5″, Realtree Timber, 2rd is a purpose-built, gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun engineered for high-volume waterfowl and turkey hunting in punishing conditions. It combines a rugged, weatherproof construction with Beretta’s advanced Kick-Off recoil reduction system to manage punishing 3.5″ magnum loads, allowing you to stay on target for follow-up shots when the flock is working.
Key Features
- Kick-Off Plus Recoil Reduction: Dual hydraulic dampeners in the stock absorb up to 70% of felt recoil, making a full day of shooting 3.5″ shells a manageable task.
- Steelium Pro Barrel: The 28″ barrel features optimized choke constriction and a special alloy for consistent, durable patterns with steel, lead, or Hevi-Shot.
- Aqua Technology: Sealed action and water-repellent coating on the Realtree Timber camo finish protect against moisture, mud, and corrosion—because Missouri blinds can be wet.
- Self-Cleaning Gas System: The Blink operating system cycles faster than inertia-driven guns and actively expels carbon and debris with each shot.
- Drop-In Ready: This shotgun fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to be field-ready. Just add your preferred choke tube and shells.

Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the tool for the dedicated waterfowler who pushes into late-season marshes or the turkey hunter covering long miles in variable weather. When it comes to enduring long, cold sits where every ounce of felt recoil matters, the A400 Xtreme Plus is built for that. It’s for the shooter who demands reliability above all when the opportunity presents itself after hours of waiting. The investment of $1657.68 is justified by its durability and recoil management, translating directly to more effective days in the field and less shooter fatigue. It’s also compatible with a wide range of aftermarket chokes from brands like Carlson’s and Patternmaster, allowing you to fine-tune your spread for geese or tight turkey patterns.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The recoil reduction is transformative for magnum loads, allowing for faster, more accurate second and third shots. The reliability in wet, dirty environments is proven. The self-cleaning action significantly reduces maintenance time. The finish is tough and provides excellent concealment.
Cons: The 7.3 lb weight, while aiding recoil absorption, can feel slightly front-heavy during long carries. The 2+1 capacity is standard but less than some competitors. The premium features come with a premium price tag. Here’s the thing—you’re paying for engineering that directly impacts performance and comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this shotgun reliably cycle lighter target loads for practice?
A: Yes. The A400’s Blink gas system is adjustable and handles a wide range of loads from light 2-3/4″ target shells up to 3.5″ magnums without manual adjustment, making it versatile for practice and hunting.
Q: Is the Kick-Off system removable or adjustable?
A: The Kick-Off Plus system is a permanent, integrated part of the stock. It does not require adjustment; it works hydraulically with every shot. The stock itself has a modular cheek piece and butt pad for length of pull and comb height customization.
Q: What is the barrel’s choke system?
A: The barrel uses Beretta’s Optima-Choke HP (High Performance) threading, which is a very common and popular pattern. This gives you access to a massive selection of aftermarket choke tubes from nearly every major manufacturer to tailor your pattern for any game or distance.
