Beretta A390 ST- SEMI AUTO - PRE LOVED

The Beretta A390ST (Standard) 12 Gauge is a highly revered, gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun produced by Beretta during the 1990s. Widely considered one of the finest and most reliable 3-inch semi-autos ever built, it is famously soft-shooting and remarkably versatile across clay targets and waterfowl hunting.

Core Technical Specifications

• Action Type: Gas-operated semi-automatic with a self-compensating exhaust valve.
• Chamber Size: 3-inch (76mm), safely cycling both 2¾-inch and 3-inch magnum shells.
• Average Weight: Approximately 7.6 lbs (3.4 kg), giving it excellent balance and low perceived recoil.
• Choke System: Beretta Mobil choke system (interchangeable screw-in chokes).
• Receiver Material: Lightweight anodized aluminum alloy with a matte black top to reduce glare.

Key Features & Performance

• Self-Compensating Gas System: The standout engineering feature of the A390 is its ability to bleed off excess gas automatically. This allows the shooter to seamlessly cycle everything from light 1-ounce target loads up to heavy 3-inch waterfowl magnums without manual adjustment.
• Soft Recoil: Because the gas operating system absorbs a significant amount of energy, it offers exceptionally mild recoil, making it a favourite for long days in a duck blind or at a sporting clays course.
• The "ST" vs. "AL" Designation: The A390ST features a steel fore-end cap and a specific rib style. This differs slightly from the later "AL390" series, which transitioned to an aluminum fore-end cap and alternative rib to shave off a tiny amount of weight.
• Adjustable Fit: The shotgun includes a standard shim system located between the receiver and the walnut stock. This allows owners to customize the drop and cast for a perfect personal point of impact.
