Got it in two days ago and already shot 9 boxes through it. I have one more choke to pattern (Kicks full). The Invector DS chokes pattern pretty nice for factory chokes. So far the Invector DS modified patterns the best using #4 shot at 35/30/25 yards. |

I do like the new ones. A buddy let me put some rounds thru his last time shooting skeet. I still hunt with an old Belgium A5 Magnum that I've rebuilt from front to back. Mine's a '58 model |

Do you have the 3" or the 3.5? How is the recoil on the new gun? I shot my old Belgium light 12 at skeet & doves several times this year... and thought DAMN , I remember why it has been in the safe since I bought the SBE.

If they shoulder & point w/ the same drop as the old guns it is worth the recoil. Dad bought my Lt. 12 when I was 1 month old & never shot it. When I got big enough I shot the first round through it. I have killed a bunch of stuff & won some $ w/ that kicking MF.

Been shooting a new model A-5 for a while and really love the gun,For you guys shooting the older A-5's that have not replaced the recoil spring you should do it!It will kick a lot less and keep it from cracking the forearm

I have a couple of original A5 stalkers and an original A5. I'd like to buy one of those new A5's if they are patterning well. I always hear people talk about recoil. That A5 original doesn't kick bad at all. And it's a gun, it's supposed to kick. If you are a kid I can understand the recoil issue, but a grown man????? |

Recoil doesn't bother me one bit. I was mentioning recoil as a reference to the other higher end waterfowl guns. |

I have one too and the recoil is definitely worse than my beretta and Benelli. The browning seems to kick up and in to my cheek. |

I have a new 3.5, and It doesn't have anymore recoil than my SBE. I don't notice anymore than my Gold also. I love this thing, it points very well. |

Trouser, I agree with the CS from Benelli. Barnes, if you are shooting well with the new gun that is the key. I'm definitely interested in one as I still shoot that ol Belgium better than any other gun I have ever shot. I have always noticed that folks who started on the humpback did well with them and Benelli while the Remington crowd didn't like them & shot beretta more comfortably. It's all about what fits you & your style best. |

Didn't know they made warranties for shotguns....what the hell breaks so much you have to stay with them? If I was that dependant on warranty work I would switch companies. |

Partly tongue and cheek, but in 40 years I've never sent a gun in for warranty work. Just lucky I guess. |

The old Remington model 11 looks just like the A5 and is based off the same patent, except most of them were chambered for 2-9/16" vs 2-3/4" shells. If you've ever talked to someone that said they "kicked like a mule", they were probably right, probably because they loaded it with 2-3/4" shells. There isn't enough room for the crimp to fully open, so the shot recoils backwards when it can't move forward easily through the crimp. You can have this easily fixed by lengthening the forcing cones though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

I really like my 3" A5 I got last year, I just ordered up another 3.5" A5 in MO Blades and a 3.5" Maxus for the old man. Too bad we have to wait until 2014 for them to ship
