New A5 shot show 2011, see it in action

I love how the "hump" lines right up with the shooter's eye.:thumbsup:

I hope to get one in the spring regardless of it lacking just about anything "A-5". Already looking forward to dropping some wild birds with it!!


Thanks for posting:cheers:
 
Quote from the Author of the video RandyWakeman

"The A5 is lighter, in the wood version anyway (wood A5 noticeably lighter than synthetic) and the trigger was surprisingly light and crisp. Recoil was no issue, as you can see from the slo-mo part. But, it was with 1145 fps 1-1/8 oz. Federal Gold Medals, the only thing available.

I liked it, but it is a 3 inch gun only at this juncture-- so 3-1/2 in. fans would look elsewhere. Actual production guns are a few months away, so this was a very long ways away from a test, just a brief test drive. It is a good-looking gun, the only thing that looks a bit odd is the switch on the bottom of the receiver which is a magazine cut-off.

So, based on the brief session with a couple of them, yes-- liked them, particularly the walnut model. Like all recoil / inertia / "kinematic" actions (as Browning calls this), they run cleaner than most gas actions. For an upland gun, dove / pheasant, etc., it holds appeal. For a dedicated clays gun or for a day in the goose pit, you might want a heavier gun. Some certainly will."

Should be a hellofa Pheasant gun IMO. Light and reliable. I will be waiting for a even lighter 20ga version. I hope that happens

I agree. It (hunter) has a classic pheasant gun look, just lighter and takes a 3 in. load.

Browning stuck with their speed load option which is very nice too. This is a great tool for "on the fly" loading.

I'm really looking forward to shouldering this gun once it's on the market:thumbsup:
