If I had a choice to have one gun and only one, it would be the A5, I have 2, both have a 2.75" chambers. The magnum goose loads are getting harder to find, BB's available, that is as big of shot in the 2.75" goose laods get, I like BBB's and T shot for crane. That is why I'm looking at a 3" chambered shotgun, it will take at least $1,000 for a good clean A5 mag, that's why I'm thinking about the new A5, although I havn't picked one up yet, with all the other arms manufacturers, like Berretta, Bennilli, Remington, I figured the new A5 would be comparable to these new hybrids. I do like the new Remington Versa-Max, gas operated, I picked one up, felt good. I guess to many choices. Anyone have good solid opinions about these new waterfowl shotguns?
