NEW Browning A5 20ga Revealed | Shotgun Review. The Browning A5 in 20 gauge is here! When it comes to shotguns, the announcement of A5 20ga at SHOT Show seemed to have the most excitement. In fact, the A5 that we shot for this review was the A5 that was in Browning's SHOT show booth this year. TFL is the first to get hands-on with this thing and do a full in-depth review. And that's what you're here for - so let's go!

I love my Kinematic Drive Sweet 16's , can't wait to add a 20 gauge to the fold. Great review as always. The only thing that I wish Browning would replace is their bolt release button, at least make it match the quality of the rest of the gun. I'll add that the 16's perform much better than any of the 12's that I owner with 3.5 inch chambers, can't wait to see what the 20 will do.

I inherited my dad’s Franchii AL48 12 ga., essentially a Browning A5 made under license, from 1960. The gun sat in a gun bag untouched since 1978 - about 45 years. I took it out to the range a few months ago and it ran 25 rounds of #00 buckshot flawlessly. I’d say the A5 design is one of great quality in my opinion.

For clays, grouse, quail and woodcock it’s awesome. I struggled with taking down ducks. There’s not many non toxic shot options for the 28ga at the moment. If you have a smaller build you’ll love it but my 180 6’2” friend found it to be too light and was a little short for him.

Purchased a 12 gauge A5 hunter in 2018, shot collegiate clays and continue to compete in NSCA with the gun. Over 50k registered targets and who knows how many more in practice with any malfunctions typically being ammo related. It will not run sub 1200 1 ounce loads 100% reliably but I have never had a malfunction with 9/8ths 1200’s

Have over 100 days in the field pheasant hunting the past 2 seasons with my A5 Sweet 16 Ultimate. Absolutely no issues, and love the (light)weight for all day carry. Understand the 20 gauge is an ounce lighter than the 16 which won't be a noticeable difference, but I'm sure it will be a pleasure to carry. Waiting to see what other A5 20 gauge versions Browning comes up with over the next couple years before making a purchase. On another note....not a fan of the 'lightning' grip A5 model, as it puts my hand in awkward position for consistently operating the safety on flushing birds.

I have the A5 Sweet 16. Like you had in your review of that gun I have had issues with the gun cycling. Sent it to Browning who sent it back no better or maybe worse with no explanation of what they did or did not do to it. I finally got it functional by running the bolt almost dry and making sure the magazine plug is not binding the magazine spring at all. I love hunting with the gun, but it has been frustrating. I would like to see you do a comparison on the 16 ga and 20 ga in the future with guns bought off the shelf, not provided by Browning.

@charlesruffing9532 2 ай бұрын

I had a few issues with the shells feeding from the magazine tube with my 16 gauge. I took out the spring and shell follower and cleaned the tube. It was very dirty from the factory. Made a huge difference. Feeding issues went away and the speed loading worked smoother too. Maybe your magazine tube is dirty also?

I don't know if you still have that 16 gauge A5 I seen in a previous video, but would love to see a 12 versus 16 versus 20 gauge, or just a 16 versus 20 gauge. I am a huge 16 gauge fan, and that's all from experience hunting and clay shooting. I have had terrible success with all four of my 20 gauge shotguns for hunting, with random shot pellets always hitting where I don't want it to. I very rarely have this issue with 16 gauge, and when I do, it was my fault. 16 gauge like Paul Harrell said in a recent interview, IS NOT a down step from 12 gauge, and I can also vouche for that. I have only crippled a bird twice with my 16 gauge, done it many times with a 20 gauge, and it's a 60/40 for a .410. Had great success with my new 28 gauge, but never cared for 12 gauge to be honest. I always find 12 and 20 to be far too overrated. They are good, but 10, 16 and 28 gauges are perfected.

I have the A5 wicked Wing for the past 5 years. I have trouble with it. Cycling light loads, ( even heavy loads untell I got the improved bolt and extractor). It,s Currently sitting at Browning for repairs. I've tried many different brands of ammo, just does not like to cycle light loads and I am using the three dram 1 and 1/8th loads as per manufacturer recommendations.😢😢. Hopefully they find out what's wrong with it. Otherwise I may go to the A400.

I really like how the host gently pokes fun at Browning's slick marketing. Browning is very good at marketing and image, but far less capable of actually manufacturing shotguns and getting them into gun stores so that we customers who are willing to pay $$$$ can handle and shoulder them and make an informed decision. For this very A5, Reeds and other online gun dealers require you to pay the nearly $2,000 up front without ever having been able to inspect the gun for fit, finish, and feel. What a strange time we're in.
