Any experience with this new gun? Looks like a great target gun. Is it available in Canada and approximate cost?
Thanks
 
Are you talking about the A400 multitarget. If so i think it would depend on the type of shooting you plan on doing and if you like high ribs. Personaly i can't even shoot Berettas none i have ever tried fit me. Fit is what is more important then anything. I also shoot mostly sporting clays so i dont like high ribs and have no need for a adjustable rib so i personally would never have a gun like that one but shotguns are a very personal thing and you need to shoot what you like and what fits regardless of what fits another person.
 
I've put a few rounds through one and looked it over. If you are accustomed to a typical shotgun it's a bit different with the high rib and adjustable comb. The head-up position takes a little getting used to. The one I tried had a Kick-Off which I don't like. It combined with slightly greater weight made it a noticeably soft shooting gun.

The small parts such as the action closer and cocking handle seemed a little cheap compared to the aftermarket Briley products. The adjustable rib seems sturdy enough compared to others that I've seen. I've tried the B-Fast adjustable stock on another gun and it works as advertised. The trigger pull wasn't great which seems to be common across the A400.

I primarily shoot an over/under for targets and already have a couple of 391s so am not in the market for a new semi. Gagnon's, a site sponsor, lists the gun w/o the Kick-Off for $3,899. With the Kick-Off I'd expect it to be over $4,000.

The price difference between the Multi-Target and the A400 Excel is $1,650. I'm not convinced the extra bits, adjustable comb and rib are worth paying that much more.

Hell will freeze over before I pay that price for a semi auto shotgun, and with global warming, I don't see that happening.
 
I'm sure I'll see one or two at my club sometime soon. Few guys I know up there have a monthly gun allowance of 5K.
They live in a different world than I do.

I agree, people will at least give them a try. Price is no object to the shooters looking to buy a few extra targets a round.And if the price is not too much for your budget, what the heck. Life is short, enjoy it.
 
I have a Kolar tubed gun and bought a multi target last fall. I shoot a lot of skeet. I have decided this year after practising with it I will run the beretta in the 12 ga and doubles and sporting clays. It shoots softer and I don't have to clean my Kolar and risk a problem with the barrels from switching between tubes and 12 ga. CD

Here is one of those guys with a gun allowance that can afford a tubed Kolar shooting an "over priced semi". I shoot with a guy who has parked his custom stocked K80 Gold Scroll for a used Beretta 390. If you look, they are out there.

There are more guys like that around than you think. I can think of several who shoot gas guns and have P and K guns at home in their safes.
