Browning (new) A5 experiences

[sndmn11]

I picked up my Beretta A400 upland edition 20 gauge 28” barrel. 6.2 lbs on my scale View attachment 1028627

That takes the cake right there!

Here is the weight on mine.

That's a 20ga color with what barrel length? Does it have the kickoff? I think the buttpad kickoff is dumb, at least, very unattractive.

28" Barrel. I think it is just a regular but pad but not sure.

Yes that's a regular one. I'm not sure they offer that anymore. I think all the xplors now have kickoff.

Sndman, I’m interested in an a5 20 as well. Saw where I think you said the beretta a400 was in the running as well. The berettas I’ve shouldered have me looking way over the top of the rib, seeing all of it between the mid sight and the front.
The browning I see the bead, the beneilli montefrelto is about the same.
Does the beretta fit you and the browning a5?
Thanks

The Browning seems the most natural. I "feel" like it has a shorter LOP and the butt pad has a good shape to fit in my pocket.

The a400s I have looked at seem fine from an elevation stand point, I have noticed either with comb fit or pad shape that I have brought it up canted.

Kygunco has the A5s for a good price, no tax, and free shipping right now.

Right now, I am probably buying a Fabarms O/U or an A400.
