New generation A5, not just for the new generation of hunters

To start off, the humpback design on the A5 is what sold me; I’m a little bit of a taller person with a longer neck and it seems really easy for me to get on the gun to fire with the raised sight plane.  The auto load feature for the browning is an A+++++, recoil is not horrible ...still worse than a gas driven gun but overall not bad at all.  The A5 is a very smooth swinging gun; when I’m leading a duck, the A5 feels like an extension of my arm instead of a forced movement.  The new invector DS choke system is very easy to clean and keep clean, and there is no cycling problems on all loads from 8-BB’s.  The only negative that I really found would be the paint chipping on the feed for the shells. 

 

The link below is the direct link to the A5’s on the browning page; here you can find all the available styles and prices.  The version that I have is the Mossy Oak Shadow Blades, 12 Gauge, 28 inch barrel, and 3” chamber.  I was able to purchase it for around $1400.00 from Scheels All Sports.

I had previously never used the A5 auto loading system; I’ve found it to be efficient and quiet handy.  Overall I give the Browning A5 and 4.5 out of 5 stars.

 

I wanted to thank you all for reading my blog and please don’t hesitate to comment with any suggestions on more information on the reviews if there was something I did not mention that you are curious about J

About me

My name is Josh Graf, I am 25 years old and currently employed with the United States Military.  I live in Utah with my wife who is currently in training to become a true pioneer woman ;)  She’s enthusiastic for now although she is currently deployed so we will see how it goes once she’s back in the states. 

 I have always had a passion for the outdoors and all that it has to offer; I started hunting at age 11, expanding to waterfowl at age 17.  Hunting has been a part of my life ever since, I’ve spent my springs/summers fly fishing (still trying to teach that to the wife, she hasn’t quite conquered the whip).  Now that my wife is deployed most of my mornings I can be found out duck hunting; testing equipment, finding out what is the most effective and taking pictures of the great outdoors.

I wanted to start this blog to give people good, honest reviews.  I go through blogs from other folks and while helpful, they sometimes seem like they’re just trying to sell whatever it is their blog is about.  I hope to purchase a GoPro in the future so I can enhance my blog and give you all a first person view of the hunts and the equipment being used.
