Browning A5 Wicked Wing Waterfowl Shotgun

The Browning A5 Wicked Wing represents a purpose-built autoloading shotgun designed specifically for waterfowl hunting. This is a firearm engineered for the demands of duck and goose season—reliable, comfortable, and built to handle extended shooting sessions in challenging conditions.

Operating System and Reliability

The A5 employs Browning's Kinematic Drive recoil operation, a proven system that cycles reliably across a wide range of ammunition loads. This means you can confidently shoot everything from light target loads to heavy 3.5-inch magnum rounds without adjustment or concern.

Ergonomics and Comfort

Stock and Handling:

  • Composite stock with vertical pistol grip for secure, natural gun handling
  • Textured gripping surfaces ensure control even in wet conditions
  • Shim adjustment system allows you to customize length of pull, cast, and drop to fit your frame and shooting style
  • Oversized bolt release for quick, positive operation with gloved hands

Finish and Durability

The receiver and barrel wear a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish—a hard, durable coating that resists corrosion and the wear of regular use in wet environments. This finish also reduces glint and blends naturally in waterfowl hunting scenarios.

Choke System

The shotgun ships with extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes, giving you flexibility to adjust your shot pattern for different distances and game. The extended design makes them easier to handle and change in the field.

What's Included

Your A5 Wicked Wing comes with a protective ABS case for transport and storage, ensuring your investment stays protected between hunts.

The Bottom Line

This is a serious waterfowl gun built by a manufacturer with decades of shotgun expertise. It handles like a dream, cycles reliably, and wears a finish that will hold up to years of hard use in the marsh.
