The Browning A5 Wicked Wing (Browning part no. 0118472004) is a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for serious waterfowlers who need speed and reliability in the harshest conditions. Browning’s recoil-operated Kinematic Drive action cycles everything from light target loads to heavy 3½-inch magnum shells without complaint. A Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish coats the aluminum alloy receiver and barrel, while the composite stock wears a Mossy Oak Bottomlands camouflage pattern with Dura-Touch Armor Coating for a sure grip in wet blinds. Built around Browning’s Vector Pro lengthened forcing cone and Invector-DS choke system, this A5 is engineered to put more birds on the strap on every hunt.
