    Im considering a A400 upland for next season. They look beautiful.
    I would prefer a solid stock dont know about that kick off thing.

    it works well. I would like a good english "straight" stock SXS 28ga or .410 with ejectors to round out my wee collection

    I've become scared of any shotgun that has 'lite' in the branding. Most of us would shoot better with a few pounds more on the gun, and few pounds off the waist, not the other way around

    Fair call A400s are such soft shooting guns, they don't need to be too light. I have a 20g A400 upland, lovely to carry, hard to shoot well

    10 kms of walking chasing quail and my 3.5kg beretta feels like a bag of cement.

    Prefer a double barrel for long walks little bit lighter and dont have to search for empty shells in the grass, also look cooler 😎
    Semi in maimai and in the boat.

    Sorry to say that's not the guns fault I've added close to 12 Oz to my a400 20g, bringing it close to 6 3/4 lb. Was just too light to start with
