Description
The Browning A5 Camo 16 Ga 26 is a shotgun chambered in 16 Gauge with a 26-inch barrel.
Browning A5 Camo 16 Ga 26 Overview
The Browning A5 is a modern recoil-operated semi-automatic built on the Kinematic Drive system, which keeps the action clean and runs reliably with everything from light target loads to heavy magnums. Fit matters more with a shotgun than with almost any other firearm, because you point it rather than aim it. Check that the stock length lets you mount the gun smoothly with your eye centered over the rib, and pattern the gun with the chokes and loads you plan to use.
A few trips to the trap or sporting clays field before the season will sharpen your swing and help you learn how the gun handles.
Design and Features
The A5 has a humpback receiver styled after the original Auto-5, a back-bored Vector Pro barrel, Invector-DS choke tubes and the Inflex recoil pad. Wicked Wing models add Cerakote metal and oversized controls for waterfowlers. Shells and chokes make a big difference in performance. Match the load to the game, from light target loads for clays to heavier shot for waterfowl and turkey, and pattern the gun at the distances you expect to shoot. Keeping the action and choke threads clean and lightly oiled will keep the gun running reliably for many seasons.
Handling in the Field
Browning’s attention to fit and finish shows in how this gun handles and shoots, and it is built to be passed down.
Action and Trigger
The trigger is crisp and predictable, and the safety is easy to reach without shifting your hold.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 16 Gauge Cartridge
The 16 Gauge offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
