Beretta A400 Lite - Synthetic - 12 gauge :
The Beretta A400 Lite Shotgun with Kickoff & GP - 12 GA is a hunting shotgun that does it all--and that does not mind playing hard and getting dirty.

After a demanding day upland hunting in the tall grass, waterfowling in the marshes or breaking clays at the range, the A400 is just as happy being tossed in the back of the truck for the drive home. It is not simply a black synthetic version of the A400 family, as it incorporates a boatload of special features like cross-tube piston giving you a 4+1 shot capacity, a new checkering pattern for better gripping, advanced recoil reduction, light weight, Optima HP choke system and the revolutionary smartphone-compliant Gunpod 2 to keep track of (and share!) your shooting activities. It is a workhorse--but a workhorse with an impressive pedigree.

With its Blink gas-operating system, the A400 is the fastest semiauto action on the market, capable of delivering 4 shots in less than one second. Just as importantly, its 3 inch chamber will reliably feed and fire different-purpose shells (2.5 inch or 3 inch) from heavy-hitting rounds to light target loads. And as an all-purpose shotgun, it combines low weight (6.6 lbs) with low recoil, so that it can be easily carried around on the most strenuous adventures without ever being punishing on the shoulder. This is because it sports two advanced recoil-reducing devices--the Kick-Off system within the buttstock (which absorbs up to 50% of recoil) as well as a super-soft, no-snag Micro Core recoil pad.

In the hands, the A400 Lite Synthetic feels like an extension of your body. Beretta has researched and created a new S Grip checkering pattern that gives you a wonderfully-positive hold (even with gloves) while being much easier to wipe clean than conventional checkering. An adjustable shim system also enables you to customize the fit for drop and cast, while a highly-visible fiberoptic sight at the end of the guns ventilated rib helps you keep your eyes on the target. The A400 action is self-cleaning, so it requires much less maintenance than any other shotgun you will ever own; but when you take this gun apart you will be amazed by the intuitive simplicity of the tool-free field-stripping process and by what little maintenance the A400 Lite Synthetic requires.

The A400 Lite Synthetic comes with a built-in GunPod2 unit, a Bluetooth-compliant electronic unit that transmits all the information you want about your hunt to a smartphone app (included). This cool device lets you create a map of your hunt, drop a pin where you took your best shots, help you remember where the game was and immortalize each shot with a photo, video, or note. You can also instantly share any part of this on Facebook and other social-media venues, so that your buddies who stayed home can see what they missed. In all, the A400 Lite Synthetic is a modern, dynamic, sporty do-it-all that is eager to share your adventures and help you brag about them.
