Firearms don’t get much more iconic than John MosesBrowning's legendary Auto -5 semi-auto shotgun, affectionately called the “Humpback” for its distinctive drop at the rear of the receiver. It’s often stated that Browning himself considered the design one of his “greatest” achievements, but how does this old classic stand up to today’s modern hunting semi-auto scatterguns?

Well, spoiler, but Browning was kind of a genius, and his design has over 100 years of successful hunting and clay-busting experience in the hands of shotgunners across the globe to prove it.

Product Information & Specs

The A5 is built on a smaller lighter receiver for reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands. It feels incredibly balanced by placing your front hand closer to the bore line for superior handeye coordination and pointability. This autoloading shotgun makes better use of kinetic energy with its powerful short recoiloperated Kinematic Drive System. Kinematic Drive harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to operate the action. Operation is clean because gases are sent out the barrel and away from the action. The familiar humpback receiver profile melds seamlessly with the rib to extend your sight plane aiding in natural sight alignment for quicker target acquisition. It also benefits from the advantages of Browning's Total Barrel Dynamics and the InvectorDS choke tube system to extract the most performance from this revered gauge.
