I have 2 Belgian A5s. One has a modified barrel and is scoped with a variable Leupold. The other has the standard slug barrel with sights. Both are deadly as up until 10-12 years ago one had to use a shotgun for deer season. Before liability concerns became rife, our local fire department held turkey shoots prior to the start of hunting season. No scopes allowed and shooting off hand at a pie plate at 50 yards. The plate had a 1" black dot in the center. If you could hold it, the non scoped Browning could put a slug into that 1" every time. I won over 30 turkeys and hams with that gun.

The fire department held both bird shot and slugs. Both at 50 yards. With shot, the winner had to have the most pellet holes. With slugs, closest to the 1" center black dot. For the bird shot shoot, I used my Beretta Gold Snipe. The gun was choked fill and fuller and it also won a lot of prizes. Too bad the legal beagles had to get involved as a lot of people had a lot of fun.

I really like the setters and pheasants... the whole scene really, on the right side. Is that factory engraving or after market engraving?

Picked up a Belgian made Sweet Sixteen with dark reddish wood and a 26” IC solid rib barrel. She seems to fit me well: seems all I have to do is shoulder it and get it pointed in the birds the general direction and pull the trigger. Guns hell on phez and I dream of spending a morning in a duck blind with it but it’s a bit cumbersome in the grouse woods. As stated above: just one of those guns everyone needs to have in their safe.
