I've shot a Browning A-5 Lt. 12 since 1972. My father-in-law gave it to me and purchased in the mid 50's. Yes, they do kick a little more than a gas gun. But they are like the Durcell bunny they keep on shooting and shooting. Last year decided to retire the A-5 and purchase a Benelli Super Black Eagle. The SBE is a good gun but now I wish I'd hunted for a NIB A-5 3". As my father in law once said there are good shot guns then there are Browning A-5's. He purchase his in 1946 and still hunts with it.
