Perfectly balanced, this new over-and-under has the lowest profile receiver on the market. Performance and reliability were of the utmost importance to the gun's designers, which is why they packaged top-quality materials, individual craftsmanship, and state-of- the-art manufacturing technologies in a shotgun available at an affordable price. www.blaser-usa.com (Top) BERETTA A400 XCEL The soft-shooting Beretta A400 Xcel delivers follow-up shots faster than any other shotgun. Its advanced recoil- reducing systems make it pleasant to shoot, even in a demanding all-day competition. Its sleek lines and superior ergonomics are designed with one goal in mind: letting the A400 naturally lead your eye to the target. The new A400 Xcel Sporting Black Edition features a 10mm wide rib made of strong carbon fiber that reduces the weight of the barrel by four ounces for improved swingability and target acquisition. www.berettausa.com (Above) MOSSBERG 20-GAUGE AUTOLOADER Mossberg International is producing a new version of its lightweight, soft-shooting 20-gauge autoloader.
