    Thanks mcche , how is the kick off in the stock ? Does this do what they say it does . I kind of like the wooden stock fell and shape , tbh the 3 camo designs (wtf) doesn't sell itself . Other that they say it protects the gun from rust ? Would that mean even lake ellesmeres corrosive salts ?.
    The photo attachment won't open for me ?

    the A400 is a great gun.i have the unico and it is very versatile.i think it is the best of the semi auto's.i have shot with a benelli vinci which i liked,and i also own a benelli ultralight 20 ga.also a great gun.it depends what you shoot. if you just want one gun and shoot mainly duck/geese then the A400 is a brillant choice.i prefer the wood stocks or it the case of beretta laminate stocks,they look better and have better resale. briley also produce some custom parts for these guns, so you can personalise them, should that appeal.

    The thing Is it's not just waterfowl , the extrema is a big gun . Maybe a mud pie shooter could be kind enough to explain how a large heavy gun performs .At lot of money to spend on a gun , I want to get it right

    I had an extrema for a season, biggest piece of crap ever, kick off is a have, with 3 half inch shells you'd feel the recoil then the kickoff would cycle.
    Brought a Remington pump and never looked back.
    I think me and that gun just didn't fit each other.

    Thanks brads , was it the kick off mid stock or the stock butt type ? . I never shot one and it's all a bit gimmick looking to me . I am buying a gas for less or little recoil .

    Pretty sure it was butt type mate.
    It was maybe 3 years ago now when they where around 4g.
    Sold mine just before h&f sold them new for 2500
    Yes I brought mine after shoulder surgery thinking the recoil would be less.
    I'm sure some proper shotgun shooters will point you in the right direction
