The Beretta A400 Xcel Multitarget is a semi-automatic 12 gauge built for trap, skeet and sporting clays. It wears a 30-inch barrel, 3-inch chambers and holds three shells. The receiver is anodized in silver, the stock is walnut, and recoil is taken up by a Micro Core pad. What sets the Multitarget apart from a plain field gun is how much of it adjusts: the comb, the rib and the balance can all be changed, and the safety is reversible.

For a North Carolina clay shooter who moves between disciplines, that adjustability is the point. Different games call for different stock and rib settings, and being able to move both means one gun can be set for trap on Saturday and sporting clays on Sunday instead of owning two. Balance adjustment lets you tune the swing to your own style, the reversible safety takes care of left-handed shooters, and 3-inch chambers give you room on load selection.
