The Beretta A400 Upland delivers reliable semi-automatic cycling for upland bird hunting with its proven Blink operating system and premium walnut stock. This 12-gauge shotgun features a 26-inch barrel optimized for fast-flying game birds and tight cover situations.
What Makes This Different
The A400's Blink gas operating system cycles 36% faster than previous Beretta designs, ensuring reliable function with loads from light 2¾-inch target shells to heavy 3-inch magnums. The nickel-plated receiver resists corrosion in wet field conditions while providing an elegant contrast to the oil-finished walnut stock. Beretta's Kick-Off recoil reduction system significantly reduces felt recoil compared to standard stocks.

Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling across temperature ranges from freezing to over 100°F.
