The A400 500 Years Special Edition commemorates an unparalleled milestone in Beretta’s history, honoring five centuries of craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication to the hunting tradition. This exclusive shotgun captures the spirit of the hunt through magnificent game-scene engravings that extend across both sides of the nickel-finished receiver, transforming a high-performance firearm into a true work of art.
Rich gold inlays and subtle ink accents bring depth and character to every engraving, creating a striking contrast against the beautifully figured Extragrain wood. At the center of this commemorative design stands the Beretta 500 Years logo, serving as the defining symbol of a legacy that spans generations.
While its appearance is undeniably elegant, the A400 500 Years Special Edition is built to perform at the highest level. At its core is the proven B-Link® gas-operated system, engineered to cycle up to 36% faster than competing designs. Paired with Beretta’s rotating bolt technology, the system delivers rapid, reliable operation, reduced recoil, and outstanding performance with a wide range of ammunition. Redesigned gas ports and reduced internal friction help minimize fouling, resulting in greater reliability and less maintenance.
The shotgun is equipped with a cold hammer-forged Steelium® barrel and a 6x6 mm flat-top rib for exceptional handling and accuracy. Its extended double forcing cone, measuring up to 80 mm on 76 cm barrels, promotes increased terminal energy and consistently dense, uniform patterns. Combined with Optimachoke® HP chokes, constructed from high-strength steel for superior durability and corrosion resistance, the barrel system performs reliably with both lead and steel shot.
An enhanced aluminum trigger group provides a crisp, responsive trigger pull with a lighter break and shorter reset. The integrated competition lifter remains in the raised position when the bolt is closed, enabling faster reloads while helping eliminate the risk of thumb pinch during loading.
Completing the package is a premium Extragrain wood stock and forend, redesigned with enlarged checkering surfaces and an ambidextrous palm swell for improved comfort, control, and handling in the field. The durable B-uffer® recoil pad further enhances the shooting experience by reducing felt recoil while delivering outstanding resistance to weather and wear.
The A400 500 Years Special Edition stands as a fitting tribute to Beretta’s remarkable heritage, blending commemorative artistry, advanced engineering, and world-class performance into a shotgun worthy of this historic anniversary.
