Own a legend reimagined. The Browning A5 12 Gauge (26") brings the iconic “humpback” profile into the modern era with a fast-cycling, recoil-operated action engineered for all-season reliability. Dressed in Full Coverage Vintage Tan Camo and fitted with a textured synthetic stock featuring a close-radius pistol grip, this A5 offers superior control, natural pointing, and all-weather durability—ideal for waterfowl, upland, and field versatility.
Why Hunters Choose the A5
Proven Recoil-Driven Operation: Browning’s ultra-reliable, easy-to-maintain recoil action cycles cleanly across a wide range of 12-gauge loads.
3.5" Magnum Capability: Chambered for 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells so you can run light lead for doves or heavy steel and bismuth for geese.
Fast Handling 26" Barrel: The sweet-spot length for quick target acquisition in timber, pits, and layout blinds while maintaining smooth swing dynamics.
Ergonomic, Sure-Grip Stock: The close-radius pistol grip delivers excellent wrist alignment and control during cold-weather, gloved shooting.
All-Weather Tough: Full-coverage Vintage Tan camo and a rugged synthetic stock shrug off rain, mud, and salt-laden marsh environments.
Key Features at a Glance
Iconic Humpback Receiver Geometry: Extended sighting plane that naturally leads the eye to the bead for instinctive hits on flushing birds and fast crossers.
Invector-DS Choke System*: Browning’s long, tapered choke interface helps tighten gas sealing and promotes even, consistent patterns.
Vent-Rib Barrel w/ Fiber-Optic Front: Crisp sight picture in low light and foggy marsh mornings.
Soft-Recoiling Shoulder Experience: Recoil-absorbing buttpad and optimized stock geometry help reduce felt recoil across high-volume shooting days.
Oversized Controls: Glove-friendly bolt handle and release simplify manipulations in the blind.
Detachable Trigger Group: Field-serviceable for quick maintenance between hunts.
*Typical A5 models ship with the Invector-DS system; included choke set may vary by lot—check your box contents.
Ideal Use Cases
Waterfowl: Run heavy steel/bismuth 3"–3.5" loads for geese and big ducks; the camo finish disappears in cattails and stubble.
Upland: Swap to lighter 2¾" or 3" shells for pheasants and late-season roosters; the 26" tube keeps you nimble in the brush.
Multi-Species Seasons: One shotgun that patterns well with the right choke/load pairings from early teal to snow geese.

Patterning & Performance Notes
The A5’s consistent bore and Invector-DS system make it easy to tune patterns for specific tasks. Pattern at 35–40 yards with your preferred 3" or 3½" load to verify pellet density and point of impact. For ducks, many hunters favor #2–#4 steel or #5–#6 bismuth; for geese, step up to BB–#1.
Fit & Feel: Built for Real Hunts
Close-Radius Pistol Grip: Keeps your wrist neutral, improving leverage in awkward shooting positions (layout blinds, boats, or flooded timber).
Textured Panels: Secure purchase in rain and cold without over-aggressive abrasion against gear and waders.
Balanced Swing: The 26" profile tracks smoothly on quartering birds yet snaps to target for fast follow-up shots.
Maintenance & Care
Field-strip with basic tools; wipe and relube contact points after muddy or salty hunts.
Check choke tightness regularly; use a light choke-thread lubricant.
Rinse exterior camo gently after salt exposure; avoid harsh solvents on camo finishes.
