The Browning A5 Wicked Wing transforms waterfowl hunting with its advanced Kinematic Drive System and specialized wetland features. This semi-automatic shotgun combines the legendary A5 action with modern materials engineered specifically for harsh waterfowl conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Kinematic Drive System operates with exceptional reliability in extreme conditions where traditional gas systems fail. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the oversized controls function flawlessly with gloves. Chamber capacity handles both 2¾" and 3½" shells without adjustment, delivering versatility that fixed-chamber shotguns cannot match.
Key Features
- Kinematic Drive System - reliable cycling in freezing temperatures and dirty conditions
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote barrel finish - maximum corrosion protection in wetland environments
- Realtree Max-7 synthetic stock - lightweight, weatherproof, and perfectly matched to cattail habitat
- 28" barrel length - optimal swing dynamics for passing waterfowl shots
- Fiber optic front sight - enhanced target acquisition in low-light conditions
- 4+1 capacity with 3½" shells - extended shooting capability for multiple bird opportunities
- Oversized bolt handle and safety - positive operation with hunting gloves
Field performance excels across diverse waterfowl hunting scenarios, from layout blinds to walk-up sloughs. The 28" barrel provides the velocity needed for long-range shots while maintaining quick handling for close flushes. Cerakote finish withstands saltwater spray and freezing rain that would damage traditional finishes. The synthetic stock eliminates wood swelling and warping in wet conditions.
