Title: Browning New A5 & Longbeard XR
Post by: bkmccu on April 06, 2025, 02:53:35 PM
Just finished patterning my A5 and wanted to share the results in case it is helpful to someone else. Here are the details: Factory Browning A5 with 26" barrel, Trulock Long Beard Turkey Choke Tube (0.670 constriction - #4 shot), and Winchester Longbeard XR 3 1/2" #4 shot. Both shots below were taken at 35 yards with open sights shooting freehand (offhand). POI difference was just due to shooting without a rest.

That is a nice pattern. Thanks for the report. I shoot a Maxus II and am looking to get an A5 but not sure if I want a 12 or 20 gauge.
