A 12g auto 5?All I have to say is "HOLD ON"!

The recoil isn't that bad at all. Better than most of the other shotguns I have shot. I have been shooting pretty hot pheasant loads out of it and it doesn't kick that bad. Now the pardner pump gun I bought is another story!

I would say my A5 is as good or better on recoil than my mossberg with the ported barrel was. I will agree it is not as recoil free as an 11-87 with full wood trim, but mine has synthectic stocks on it. I have shot 11-87's with synthetics stocks and the were not all that pleasant to shoot either, nothing like the wood versions. Of course much better than a light H&R single shot;).

Thanks for comments, so far I like the gun. I was out patterning it for turkey season and ran about a half a box of shells thru it. Points nice and works great. I didn't turkey hunt though, there are no turkeys on the land I have permission to hunt on, so I didn't bother wasting the money on a tag.

Like I said I love my Browning Auto 5's here is a photo of my shotguns I found you can see 3 brownings. Mike
