Our Assessment: Browning’s modern A5 Ultimate is a handsome and highly reliable inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun that pays homage to the original Auto-5 design while embracing contemporary performance. The alloy receiver is elegantly engraved, and the finely checkered high-grade walnut furniture adds a classic touch, perfectly complementing the shotgun’s sleek blued and satin stainless aesthetic.
Internally, this A5 utilizes the Kinematic Drive system—Browning’s upgraded take on inertia operation—which delivers fast cycling with a wide range of loads and reduced felt recoil. The ventilated rib and fiber optic front sight enhance target acquisition, making it a fantastic field and sporting option.
This particular A5 Ultimate is in outstanding condition, showing minimal signs of use and including its original Browning hard case, spacers, and additional choke tubes. A top-tier modern autoloader with the style and precision collectors expect from Browning. Please see our high quality photos and good luck on your bid! -M.C.
