Beretta A400 or other suggestions....

[JD8]

Need something versatile as I'm being asked to go on more and more shoots and hunts with clients and insurance carriers. I have Benellis but they are set up for defense or gaming. I'm a buy once, cry once kind of guy so I don't need the cheapest.... but I'm not looking for an over/under that will cost me an arm and a leg either. Currently eyeing a Beretta A400. Suggestions?

I’m a fan of the Beretta A400 and the Benelli Ethos. Can’t go wrong with either one. I think the Ethos with wood furntitire looks more classic or formal if that is a consideration.

That Benelli is sharp. Kinda muddied the water there.

Benelli. It’s pretty practical and pragmatic. It will emote prudence and professionalism

I'm an O/U guy but have an A400Xcel also, no issues. My daughter shot trap with it for a season.

Is this gone?

It never sold, it's still in the safe. Those Ethos are a sharp looking gun, and supposedly rivals the Beratta A400 Kick Off recoil system, I've yet to shoot one though.

The benelli montefeltro is a really sweet gun and great for quail,pheasants and ducks.I also like the safety location on the montefelltro.Its right behind the trigger where you can just push it off and my trigger finger naturally slides 1/3 inch or so up to the trigger.On the beretta the safety is an inch or more in front of the trigger and several times on a covey rise I was searching for the trigger after taking the safety off.The safety was in a very unnatural place for me.

Beretta A300 Outlander. They’re a VERY reliable design and only around $500

This. I have a beautiful Beretta AL2 with fixed IC. I can miss a quail with it but still have trouble with the safety location. It’s wonders on the skeet field though where I don’t need to make split second decisions on safety choices.
