Beretta A400 extreme?

[Arra]

I bought one for duck hunting this past winter. Thought about maybe killing a turkey with it as well. Anyone here patterned one?

While more people seem to be using those guns for clays and waterfowl than turkeys, I have has several readers who are using turkey chokes with them and when properly choked have had some good patterns with them. Most have been using Pure Gold chokes in either .660 or .670 exit diameters and 3" Hevi-13 shells with #6 or #7 shot.

Thanks,

The A400 uses chokes with the OBHP thread system and not the older thread systems that Beretta has used. Beretta states that those barrels are "slightly over-bored" and for Beretta that's usually about .733 or so. I have not personally measured the bore on any of them.

Everyone that I know or have spoken to who has one really likes the gun and they are of course beautiful guns, well made in the Beretta tradition.

Thanks,
Clark
