The Browning A5 Stalker is a full-size 12 Gauge semi-automatic hunting shotgun built around Browning’s recoil-operated Kinematic Drive System. Its lightweight aluminum humpback receiver and balanced configuration promote natural pointing and fast handling in the field. The 28-inch matte-blued, back-bored vent-rib barrel uses the Invector-DS choke system and includes Full, Improved Cylinder, and Modified flush choke tubes. A black synthetic stock, fiber optic front sight, ivory mid bead, and thumb-operated manual safety complete this practical field configuration. The 3 1/2-inch chamber supports a wide selection of hunting ammunition, while the 4+1 capacity provides useful reserve firepower.
