After much surching I found the Browning A5 31/2" camo at a ****'s Sporting Goods grand opening. After a thorough cleaning I shot this the other night. I only shot 50 rounds but the size of shot ranged from 23/4" 11/8oz. low brass target load, 3" 13/8oz to 31/2" 15/8oz load. The gun cycled all loads without any issues. I have waterfowl hunted with a Browning Gold 31/2" for the last 12 years, the recoil on the A5 is more with the 31/2" load but not uncomfortable. It just reminds you, you just shot a 31/2. The gun has excellent balance and does come with a few different shims to adjust to the individual. The gun is very light compared to the Gold. It was enjoyable to shoot, the real test is time. I have no doubt that it will pass this test.
