Browning A5 Wicked Wing 16 ga Shotgun 28" Semi-Auto Realtree Max 7 0119115004

The Browning A5 Wicked Wing 16-gauge semi-auto shotgun delivers the balance hunters have pursued for generations—the heft and payload of a 12 with the handling grace of a 20. Built on Browning's proven short-recoil Kinematic Drive system and chambered in 16 ga, this 28" semi-automatic is as reliable in the marsh as it is refined in the upland. The Wicked Wing edition layers practical durability over hunting-ready aesthetics: Realtree Max-7 camouflage on a composite stock pairs with Burnt Bronze Cerakote finishes on receiver and barrel, giving you pattern-breaking concealment without sacrificing the toughness this gun demands. Whether you're chasing waterfowl over decoys or working timber for pheasants, the A5 Sweet Sixteen handles every load the day throws at it.

Kinematic Drive simplicity means you get consistent function across the full spectrum of conditions—cold, wet, muddy, or dry. Gases exit cleanly through the barrel, keeping the action running free of powder residue and fouling. Internally, the bolt and shell carrier wear a nickel Teflon coating for sustained protection and smooth operation, while the fully chromed bore resists corrosion from repeated use and storage. The oversize bolt release and handle make cycling rounds and clearing the action intuitive even with gloved hands or when fatigue sets in late in a long hunt.

The 16 ga's reputation for balanced performance isn't hype—it's physics. A well-tuned 16 delivers pattern density and energy efficiency that rivals both its larger and smaller cousins, and the A5's humpback receiver geometry extends the sighting plane for the same instinctive pointing advantage the original Auto-5 was famous for. Three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) come ready to tune your shot for whatever game you're pursuing, and the shim-adjustable composite stock—with 1/4" and 1/2" spacers included—lets you dial in length of pull, cast, and drop to your frame.

Fiber-optic front and ivory mid-bead sights ship ready to aim, and the textured grip surfaces keep your purchase firm when conditions get slick. Browning backs the A5's reliability with a 5-year/100,000-round guarantee—a statement of confidence you don't see often. If you've been looking for a semi-auto 16 that hunts like a heavier gun but carries like a lighter one, the A5 Wicked Wing closes that gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 16-gauge shotgun best used for?

The 16 gauge strikes a sweet spot between the lighter recoil and swing of a 20-gauge and the payload and energy of a 12-gauge. It's excellent for upland game hunting (pheasants, quail, grouse), waterfowl, and general-purpose hunting where you want a gun that doesn't beat you up but still delivers clean kills at reasonable distances.

What choke tubes come with the Browning A5 Wicked Wing 16-gauge?

The shotgun ships with three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. These allow you to adjust your pattern for different hunting situations—tighter chokes for distant waterfowl, more open patterns for close-range upland work.

Is the stock adjustable for different shooter sizes?

Yes. The composite stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, and the gun includes 1/4" and 1/2" spacers so you can dial in the fit to your frame and shooting style.

What does Browning's warranty cover on the A5?

Browning backs the A5 with a 5-year/100,000-round manufacturer guarantee, reflecting the company's confidence in the Kinematic Drive system's reliability.
