Beretta A400 Xplor Action
Best versatile semi automatic for upland hunters seeking low recoil.
This is the rare shotgun that feels equally at home in a duck blind or on a sporting clays course. Its gas-operated system tames recoil beautifully, making long days of shooting far less punishing. You sacrifice a bit of mechanical simplicity for that comfort, but the trade-off is a remarkably versatile, soft-shooting experience.
