Beretta A400 or Winchester SX4

[Gunnyart]

I’m not familiar with the SX4 but I know you can fit the beretta to you. Imo that’s the most important feature on a shotgun.

You can get the A400 without the kickoff system. That's what I'd be looking at.

I bought the a400 xtreme plus with the kickoff and its a smooth gun.

Does the kick off create reliability issues?

Appreciate all the input guys!

I'll try and get my hands on a SX4 to see how she feels but will probably go back to the A400 since I was very comfortable with it. Just have to save a little longer.

How about a A300 if you want to save some $$$

I have both the A300 and A400 both have been flawless

There should be no doubt. A-400 hands down.

nope... i've cycled everything from 3 1/2'' magnums to 2 3/4" 7/8oz loads.

I'm fixing to sell my A400.It's a fancy wood stock though.I'll say this.It'll shoot low/high velocity/handloads,as fast as you can pull the trigger.First thing I did when I got it.

I'd not heard anything negative about it. I was just wondering why berettadave recommended getting one without a kickoff.

I haven't heard of any issues. I've shot both and I like the feel of the version without the kickoff. In my opinion, unless you are a young shooter or shooting heavy loads exclusively it's not needed. I've just never gotten use to a guns feel using a moving recoil reducer. Another thing is IF you ever needed the length of pull adjusted, it's a little more tricky on the one with the reducer.

Thanks. That's what I was wondering. I've shot a gun with a "shock absorber" before too. Feels different for sure.

kinda apples to oranges on comparison since its gas vs inertia. I own the SX4 and have shot the a400. I still prefer my SX4

I have the 20ga A400 with the kick off and it does take some getting used to but I like it. I have over 2k rounds through this particular gun and have never had a single issue. Most people who shoot it are floored by how little felt recoil there is but its not really needed on the gas guns in my opinion. I bought it on sale as a gun that my wife could more easily shoot and something I can teach my son on when hes a bit older.

I’m pretty sure they are both gas.
