Browning A5 Stalker Blue/Black

Shotgun; I have shot a lot of shotguns in my life and this bad boy is on the top of my list. I waited to write a review so I could really give some honest feedback. Things I like about this gun; recoil is minimal even with 3 1/2 Inch high brass crane ammo. Easy to clean and maintain. New chokes are exceptional, easy to install and remove. I tried a few things with this gun that I would typically not do. I loaded a 3 1/2" shell then a 2 3/4" shell to see if it could cycle the shells, NO problem. I used this gun for dove, sandhill crane, and ducks... this gun did not let me down on any hunt. This gun will shoot in any conditions and keeps on trucking. I never once had a bad feed or jammed shell. Things I dislike; The auto load of the first shell really takes some getting use too. The gun is extremely loud when loading that first shell and when you try to load it slow it takes some effort to get the bolt aligned. These issues just take some getting use too, nothing major. The only one issue I just don't like is how easy the action handle removes from the gun. I have not had it come out unintentionally but I could see it happen if you got it snagged on something. Now I will tell you this gun does not like light target shells. The gun will shot them fine with no issue but you can tell that there is just not enough powder in those shells. BUT I have issues with those shells in about every semi I shoot. All in all you will not be unhappy with this gun.
