A standout feature of this shotgun is the Kick-Off system integrated into the wood stock, which reduces recoil by using hydraulic dampeners. This system makes follow-up shots faster and more comfortable, especially during long sessions or when shooting heavier 12-gauge loads. The reduced recoil aids in maintaining control and accuracy, offering both performance and comfort for the shooter. The grey receiver and blue bolt add a modern aesthetic and durability to the shotgun, enhancing its appearance while providing wear resistance. Paired with the smoothest-operating gas system, recoil reduction technology, and versatile Optima HP chokes, the A400 Xcel Sporting is the top-tier choice for semi auto shotguns for competitive shooters seeking both functionality and distinctive style.
