---Pros: TS makes a shell catcher, plastic but works fine. The higher the comb and the lower the rib the higher the gun shoots. See how high it will shoot and try that first. Kicks very lightly. The Modified tube will shoot 30 inches wide at 40 yards.
Cleaning it ain't all that bad once you get used to it. And it doesn't need it too often. Once every 5 or 6 hundred maybe, and maybe a whole lot more. Kicks much softer than the high dollar single shots. Handling qualities built in.
Cons: They made it with a 3" chamber. I guess that doesn't hurt anything but I don't know why they did it. Maybe a goose flew over the factory right when they were trying to decide..

The only con I have heard is that you can’t use a shell catcher for games that take 2 shots, and the shooter to the right may not like the hulls flying at him/her.

All of the A400's are known for throwing hulls a country mile. We have a 3.5 Unico and the aforementioned Multitarget and from the factory they will eject shells in excess of 8+ feet to the right. While the Unico's purpose is hunting the Multitarget is our "all around" clays gun and our backup/primary registered trap gun. The plastic TS shell catcher works flawlessly for singles/caps, and by changing the gas valve spring out for the blue one in the set offered by Cole's I was able to shorten the distance/force by which the hulls were ejected thus making it a trap line "friendlier" firearm. I love the balance, feel, and soft recoil of the gun and to date it has cycled everything I have fed it. Congratulations on your new gun and #breakemall!

Be sure to tighten the rear rib screw very good after adjustment. If you like blue loctite, use it sparingly. The screw hex head is very soft and will not survive much torque. Great gun, love the adjustability. I had my trigger lightened by Cole's, very good people. I have the 30" barrel with K/O.

Really doesn't matter if the chamber is 2 3/4" or 3". My DT-10 Trap model has a 3" chamber. I think Beretta went to that years ago.

I have around 1500 rounds through my new Beretta Multitarget and have a lot of positive feed back to give as well as some negatives that many have reported(I still love the gun). This is my first gun with an adjustable comb and rib. I followed many of the reviews I have read and put blue loctite on all of my rib screws before taking it out. So I haven't had any problems with my rib coming loose or losing screws yet. Now my last shoot I participated in my comb came loose and almost came off the gun completely and cost me a few targets but I learned a lesson. This is my first adjustable comb so i now know to make sure all the screws are tightened on the comb before every shoot to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. Another negative I found was after my first shoot with the gun it happened to be raining. I wiped the wood off with a dry rag before putting it back in the case for my ride home. I get home and water marks all over my wood. Yes an easy fix but still frustrating. Now with the positive my scores have greatly improved after switching from an old BT-99 now that I have the Beretta fitting me properly, The gun shoots where I look, recoil is non existent and other than a few learning pains the Multitarget does its job better than I can personally can. I have had 2 failure to fires with Federal Grand shells but so far I haven't had any problems with any other shells including the cheapest of the cheap. Definitely need a shell catcher and with the catcher sometimes the shells bounce back into the chamber and you have fight to get it back out.

I’m left handed and it does just fine. I have the comb pushed all the way to the left just about and it lines up perfectly for me.. mine is the 30in model with the kickoff.. now, I have another question.. I’m a believer in comp n choke choke tubes... would you all be afraid to run one of them over the beretta go tubes?

You don't have any flash problems?? shot 1100 Remington's for years.-- And they eject straight out and I will get a flash every once in a wail The berretta looks like it ejects more upwards making it a bigger problem for a left hander?

I was shooting mine one day, and the little rib ramp section that mounts on the receiver came loose. I was just practicing by myself, so just finished the round, but it was a little annoying

The 3" chamber is for shoot offs when playing games.......one shooter at our club uses Black Cloud shells and swears by them.

Well I shot it tonight during our killer league match... made it to number 6 out of 22... can’t complain for just buying it this week, not patterning it... loaded a new load for it and all.. didn’t even take my other gun out of the case
