Beretta A400 Solo KO 12 GA 28" Optifade Marsh Shotgun

Beretta's A400 line has quietly become the waterfowl semi auto to beat, and the Solo KO configuration is aimed squarely at the duck blind. The 28 inch barrel with a 3 inch chamber handles the full range of modern waterfowl loads, and Beretta's gas operation spreads recoil into a push that keeps you on birds for the follow up shot. The KO in the name is Beretta's Kick-Off system, hydraulic dampers in the stock that absorb recoil mechanically instead of leaving everything to a rubber pad; across a long volume day of 3 inch steel loads, the difference is not subtle.

Gore Optifade Marsh camouflage covers the gun in a concealment pattern developed around how waterfowl actually perceive contrast, breaking up the outline along flooded edges and cattail bottoms. Fast cycling, soft shooting, and dressed for the blind, this is a purpose built duck and goose gun from the company that arguably does gas semi autos better than anyone in the game.
