Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Kick-Off Plus system different from a standard recoil pad?
Unlike a traditional recoil pad that simply cushions the buttstock against your shoulder, Beretta's Kick-Off Plus is a hydraulic damping system built directly into the stock. It actively absorbs and slows the rearward impulse of the action, reducing felt recoil by up to 50%. This makes a significant difference during extended upland hunts, reducing fatigue and flinching — especially valuable with lighter 20 and 28 gauge loads where a quality fit matters most.
Can I use both 20 gauge and 28 gauge shells in the same gun?
No — the A400 Upland is offered in your choice of either 20 gauge or 28 gauge configuration. Each version is built around a barrel and action specifically dimensioned for that gauge. You cannot interchange shells between the two gauges in a single firearm. If you'd like to shoot both gauges, you would need two separate firearms or a compatible barrel/receiver set designed for that purpose.
What choke tubes are compatible with the Beretta A400 Upland?
The A400 Upland is fitted with Beretta's Optima-Choke HP system, which accepts the full range of Optima-Choke HP interchangeable choke tubes. This gives you flexibility to select the right constriction — from Cylinder to Full — depending on your target species and hunting conditions. Extended aftermarket choke tubes from brands like Kicks, Carlson's, and Patternmaster are also widely available in the Optima-Choke HP thread pattern.
