The Browning A5 Wicked Wing: Purpose-Built for Waterfowl

The Browning A5 represents a fundamental rethinking of the autoloading shotgun. Built on a smaller, lighter receiver, this 12-gauge delivers reduced weight without sacrificing reliability or performance—a balance that matters when you're carrying it through marsh and timber.

Design Excellence

The receiver geometry places your front hand closer to the bore line, improving hand-eye coordination and pointability. The distinctive humpback profile melds seamlessly with the rib to extend your sight plane, enabling faster target acquisition when birds work your decoys.

The Kinematic Drive System

This short recoil-operated action harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to cycle the gun. Gases exit the barrel and away from the action, keeping operation clean and reliable in harsh conditions.

Practical Features

  • Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat finish for effective concealment in natural settings
  • Burnt Bronze Cerakote receiver and barrel for corrosion resistance and durability
  • Fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition in low light
  • Invector-DS choke tube system for pattern optimization
  • Extended Invector-DS Goose Band chokes included
  • Composite stock for weather resistance
  • Oversize bolt release for gloved operation
  • Chromed bore for longevity
  • 26-inch barrel with 4+1 capacity

The A5 Wicked Wing harnesses Browning's Total Barrel Dynamics technology to extract maximum performance from the 12-gauge. This is a shotgun built for serious waterfowlers who demand reliability when conditions turn difficult.

  • briley oversize bolt release
  • 1/2" & 1/4" stock spacers
