Beretta A400 Xplor light 12 g

brianfrancis45

I've decided that I'd like to add a decent light weight ( I don't like heavy guns !) semi auto to the collection and am thinking about buying a Beretta A400 Xplor Light 12 g 26 inch barrels with the Kick Off fitted.

Do any of ye have any experience of this gun and if so what do ye think of it ?.

Basically I want a semi-auto mainly for decoying pigeons so need a gun that will cycle the lower power/cheaper cartridges such as the 28g Eley Olympics , but I will also use much heavier 3 inch loads for the odd fox drive and a few days duck shooting as well.

Also I'd like to know are they easy to clean ? Someone suggested to me that as it's gas operated it will be a pain in the a*se to clean and that I'd be better off with an inertia operated Benelli ?

Finally anyone know of an RFD who is likely to stock that model ,preferably in the South but I'm willing to travel , as before I commit to buying I'd have to shoulder the gun/check for fit first.

any help/advice appreciated.

Thanks

Have an A400 unico xplor cant fault it will shoot everything if you run it in right first ( 50 rounds of 32g). I have the kickoff on mine and I like it, it just feels right.
I think the light means light loads as it wont shoot 3.5 inch shells.
Cleaning is pretty easy you will have no problems. Plenty of videos on Youtube on them.
