Beretta has announced the A400 Xtreme Plus shotgun series is now available in 20-gauge models and new camo patterns. The A400 Xtreme Plus 20 Gauge features Beretta’s exclusive Steelium Plus barrels—a first for hunting shotguns—providing tailored patterning for hunting loads, along with felt-recoil mitigation.

Further drawing from the competition world, the A400 Xtreme Plus barrel features a 7X7 stepped rib with an integral mid-bead and fiber-optic front-bead, in order to ensure proper fit and sight picture for any condition. Next, enhancing the A400 Xtreme Plus is the addition of an extended charging handle and bolt release, to allow for easier manipulation during cold and rainy days, as well as an enlarged loading port for faster loading in adverse conditions. Finally, Beretta’s signature Kick-Off Mega system combined with a soft comb stock ensures less felt recoil, making the A400 Xtreme Plus the softest-shooting waterfowl gun available.

For more information on this line extension, which comes with five Optima-Bore HP Black Extended Chokes, and is currently available in Realtree Max-7, Mossy Oak Bottomland and Optifade Timber, visit beretta.com. MSRP: $1,929

Recipe: Deep-Rooted Venison Stew

Several friends and I often circle back to the same campfire debate about which wild game makes the best stew. Mule deer usually leads the pack, with moose close behind, but any well-handled game meat can stand out when you build the right layers of flavor. The real magic starts long before the broth simmers. It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
