This A400 Xcel Sporting KO is built around Beretta's semi-automatic, gas-operated system with a rotating bolt for consistent cycling. The barrel is steel and Optima-Bore HP, threaded for Optima HP choke tubes, and marked 18.6 mm. It is steel-shot rated and configured with a 3-inch chamber and a 30-inch length for a steady swing and clear sighting plane.
The receiver is an alloy unit finished in matte grey anodizing with a prominent Xcel graphic. Controls include an enlarged bolt-release button and an oversized round charging handle for positive manipulation, along with right-side ejection and a cross-bolt safety. The bolt itself is blue anodized for visual contrast and easy status checks.
Sighting is straightforward and fast with a ventilated rib, a white front bead, and a mid-bead. The rib aids heat dissipation and alignment, while the dual-bead setup provides a precise reference for consistent mount and follow-through.
The walnut stock features cut checkering, Beretta's integrated Kick-Off recoil-reduction system, and a MicroCore recoil pad. Length of pull measures 15.25 inches, supporting a stable mount and smooth gun movement through the shot. Capacity is 3 rounds. Markings include BERETTA – GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY, OB HP, 18.6, and IT22.
