I am thinking about upgrading my current shotgun (Beretta 3901 12 ga 28")
This would be an "all around gun" but I enjoy sporting clays and skeet.
I am looking at the a400.
One thing (along with others) I am having trouble with is that I have to shoot left handed because of my eyes.
With my 3901 I get gas in the face every so often and I dont like how it tastes.
Here is what I have been able to decipher so far I think....
A400 Excel (blue): Right hand only but stock is adjustable to left handed, but the kick-off rubs against the cheek, able to do 7/8 oz load with ease.
A400 Xplor Unico (bronze): Left hand option, after a break in able to do the 7/8 oz loads, but the left hand version has the kick off that rubs the cheek.
A400 Xplor Action: Right hand only but stock can be made left handed, can do 7/8 oz loads after break in, but is the light weight version.
A400 Xtreme Unico (camo): Right hand only but stock can be made left handed and has the kick off behind the grip and after time able to do the 7/8 loads.
I do not have any hands on experience yet but I would hope to before I would buy.
In a perfect world I would like to have the kick off immediately behind the grip while being able to do the powder puff 7/8 and 3/4 loads. Is there a model which does this? Is my little summary correct?
