Hi. I was borrowing the shotgun off my brother. Personally, I wouldn’t waste my money on an aftermarket choke. I don’t believe the marketing hype on any of these. The factory chokes work absolutely fine.
BRAVO! Excellent unboxing vid. This seemed to be very thorough (for anyone new to Beretta shotguns like me) and was definitely informative! I'm actually in the market for a new shotgun and this one was near the top. After watching this, it may have moved to the top of the list. Thank you for taking the time to record and post it. Peace, BT8
Hey brother I'm like you except I just got this shotgun... it is hands down the best shotgun I've ever shot. There is basically no recoil and it has cycle anything from 2.75 to 3.5 flawlessly. I'm a bigger guy so I don't mind the size and it is intuitive to aim. Bravo beretta this 1 is a winner
Good, thorough review of this gun! Just got this in Mossy Oak Bottomland 28". Kept hearing so many good things about the A400. Love the feel of it. Had / have the SBE/1 for many years. On hot N heavy shooting days, the SBE would rub a NASTY blister on my 'bird' finger on my shooting hand between the 1st and 2nd knuckle. Got tired of that, the 'Benelli Click' and few other things about it that just didn't seem to work for me. I am sooo glad I spent the money on this gun. Time to go 'get mad' at the ducks!
Thanks Laughing Hawg. Both are great guns! Would be keen to get your view on the differences in perceived recoil. Most people take a while to get used to the kickoff working as they fire. It doesn’t activate much for trap loads but certainly kicks in with the heavy loads. I guarantee your shoulder will be grateful so long as you keep the gun in tight. Happy hunting!!
@@kiwifleapit Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I do plan on trying all loads from light trap loads to 3.5" heavy goose loads and patterning it. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to tell the difference, or at least I hope so! I'll try and remember to get back to you once I get that done.
Top notch video! I had no idea that the limitier plug design was so easy on this model. I've been eyeballing the A400/1301 series from Beretta, and this video made me take another look at the Xtreme Plus. One question though, have you tried it with low powered ammo, such as light clay loads?
Hi Rob, thanks for your kind words. Yes I have used it for clay target shooting with 1 oz trap loads and it has functioned perfectly. There isn’t much to complain about with this firearm. Beretta have done a great job designing it. You won’t be disappointed! Cheers.
I bought one: It shoots 3 inches shot shells very well. But there is a regular problem with Black Cloud 3 1/2 inches: there is a feeding problem for the second shot shell every time. The third shot shell get out of the tube and blocks the feeding of the second one. I sent the gun for warranty and the problem still persists ....
Oh that’s annoying. I’ve never used the Black Clouds as they are very expensive to buy here and I’ve also never used 3 1/2 inch shells. Could it be related to the black cloud ammo? Are you able to try another brand? Did they swap the gun or attempt to fix it?
@@kiwifleapit I sent the gun to the Beretta warranty canada service: they said they fixed the problem and sent it back... SAME problem. I will return the gun ... again ...
@@geraldbergeron That’s interesting. I would love to know what is actually causing the problem. Hopefully it is not a common fault. Good luck with getting it sorted second time round. Hopefully you don’t get messed around.
Hi Clark! What COVID-19? Thankfully, we went took it very seriously first time round and as a result we haven't had any major issues since so no more nationwide lockdowns. We are very fortunate in that regard. How is life in your part of the world?
@@andrewn.5117 Hi Andrew. These ducks are called paradise shell ducks. They are a pest for the Northland farmers here in NZ and so every summer we have a one weekend or in the case of this year a week long special season to hunt them. I would love to hunt in the US or other parts of the world one day. Need to sort out this covid nonsense first though.
Sorry I can not offer you any advice on which scope to fit. It’s not something we do for hunting here in NZ. I would assume that the holes are suitable for fitting a picatinny rail which you could mount basically any optic.
Yes lots of deer in there alright and not much feed. Pretty dry at the moment too. Took my nephew for a hunt a few days ago. He got to see another skinny stag from 5m but missed it 😂.
@@kiwifleapit oh cool 5m hahaha probably too far away for your neff. Surely you could of got him closer baahahaha hey next time you down look me up we local boys usually got our finger on pulse 🤞 Where did yous hunt?
@@kaihuntersnz6344 first time he’s seen a deer up close. Pretty sure he was crapping himself 😂 I’ve watched a few of your videos already. Love the one with the deer swimming in the lake. Keep up the good work.
@@kiwifleapit oh you're a hard are man do that to your poor neff lucky it wasn't the roar baahahaha,. Oh chur mean thanx Must t up sometime where you based I Subbed to your channel chur🤙🏼
Yes. Three of the other lads I shoot with have the camo version and I wanted something different. And I didn’t want to pick up someone else’s shotgun in the 6am confusion.
Yes, it is really designed with hunting in mind however there is no reason why you couldn’t use it for clay target competitions such as simulated field or skeet.
Hey Yuriy, sorry I couldn’t say for sure. The 24 gram loads are not particularly common for field shooting. Most competitive shooters here is NZ would be putting their 24gram loads through an under and over. Apparently the a400 will cycle this load.
Hi William. I didn’t have to hand it in (my old extrema 2) however I had previously registered it as an ‘E’ category firearm, a category which includes any military style semiauto, so that I could use it for 3 gun competition. It allowed me to use an extended magazine tube holding more than 7 cartridges. I could have requested to transfer it back to an ‘A’ category firearm (standard licence) however I paid $2k for it and the government were offering $1750 and I wanted to upgrade 😉. Ideally they should have paid me at least what I had paid for it seeing as they were basically confiscating firearms from law abiding citizens.
I should add that in NZ we CAN currently use semi-auto shotguns but they are now limited to 5 rounds only. All semiauto centre fire rifles have effectively been banned with the exception of professional pest control, police and military applications. All this due to the actions of one person who was given a firearms licence by police when he should not have.
