I have been saving up for the new browning A5, just wondering if anybody has one or knows someone who does? Any input anybody has heard would be awesome! Thanks

The reason I asked is because I've been shooting old A5s my whole life, it's basically all my dad my grandpa and my great grandpa have ever shot, I come from a HUGE browning family! So I wanted to see if it was the same quality before I shelled out $1,500. What problems have you heard?

They'll get it worked out soon.

It was either that, an Extrema or Silver. Shot the benelli and beretta and both and bought the one that felt better in my hands. The silver I never got to shoot. Looked at and played with the, at the time, new Vinci. Couldn't care less how it looked. It pointed great when I shouldered it. But it was new and unproven.

Yeah but Phil Robertson said the Vinchi was a great gun right after they came out. Isn't that good enough?
Oh yes, he likes Mossberg now, right?

I hear that Mossberg makes the same quality guns as Benelli, just a lot cheaper...
