Browning A5 Ultimate 12GA 28" Walnut/Blued

The A5 Ultimate: Where Craftsmanship Meets Performance

The Browning A5 Ultimate represents a shotgun built with genuine artistic panache—a working gun that refuses to compromise on beauty or function. This is a firearm for those who understand that a well-made shotgun should be as pleasant to look at as it is to shoot.

Design and Handling

The A5 is engineered on a smaller, lighter receiver that delivers reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands. The humpback receiver profile melds seamlessly with the ventilated rib, extending your sight plane and aiding natural sight alignment for quicker target acquisition. This design places your front hand closer to the bore line, delivering superior hand-eye coordination and pointability.

Kinematic Drive System

This autoloader makes superior use of kinetic energy through Browning's powerful, short recoil-operated Kinematic Drive System. Rather than relying on gas operation, the Kinematic Drive harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to operate the action. The result is clean operation—gases exit the barrel and away from the action, keeping your shotgun running reliably in any condition.

• 28-inch high gloss steel barrel with ventilated rib
• 3-inch chamber for standard and magnum loads

Stock and Furniture
