The A400 Xcel is a 12-gauge competition shotgun that is faster-cycling softer-shooting and better balanced than anything else on the market. Built on the revolutionary A400 action it delivers follow-up shots 36% faster than any other brand while its advanced recoil-reducing systems make it absolutely pleasant to shoot even on demanding all-day competitions. Its sleek lines and superior ergonomics are designed with one goal in mind: letting the A400 naturally follow your eye to the target. This is why it has quickly become a favorite among serious competitive shooters the world over. Additional Features: Extremely Low Recoil \u2013 Durable and Easy to Clean \u2013 Micro Core: The Micro Core buttpad is designed to do two primary things. First to reduce recoil as much as possible so that even a long session at the range will not tire you and leave you sore. Secondly and thanks to the type of polymer of which it is constructed it is engineered to flow smoothly to your shoulder without snagging or catching as many rubber buttpads do. Gun Pod: The Gun Pod is a digital display designed for the real powder-head who wants to keep track of everything on the range. This revolutionary system provides a digital readout of the ambient air temperature the cartridge pressure of the round fired and the overall number of shells fired through the shotgun. This enables you to further enhance your training routine as well as get to know your shotgun better. Blue Receiver: Blue is not only the traditional color of the Beretta brand. On this shotgun it also serves as a warning flag to your competitors: here comes the best-designed clay-busting semi-auto on the market along with a shooter who was discriminating (and ambitious) enough to choose it. Giving the shotgun a cool updated look the blue receiver will never leave your friends wondering what type of gun you\u2019re shooting. High Speed Mechanics: The A400 Xcel features the unique Blink technology a gas-operating system that is capable of delivering two shots in less than half a second while also integrating an easy-maintenance self-cleaning piston. This means that you\u2019ll already be reloading while your friends watch that second clay fly farther and farther away from them. Balance Cap: You see it fly you break it: this is the ideal mindset of a sporting-clay shooter. But for this to be the case the shotgun must balance perfectly\u2013which means it must do so for you and your body type. This is why Beretta has added the balance cap as a standard feature: three interchangeable weights allow shooters to achieve that perfect point where the shotgun becomes an extension of their body. And an anodized finish on the balance cap protects the system from the elements allowing the shooter to compete anytime anywhere. Cold Hammer Forged Barrel: No matter how great a shotgun\u2019s action and how impeccable the balance the shot must first travel through the barrel in order to make it to the target. So the more perfect the geometry of the tube the more consistent and predictable the shot pattern. Beretta\u2019s cold-hammer forged barrels are designed and painstakingly manufactured to offer this kind of precision as well as the durability to match. Steel Performance: Whether you use steel or lead shot the Steel Performance feature on this shotgun ensure minimum-to-none shot deformation. This is because the elongated forcing
