Browning A5 recoil versus Benelli SBE

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

Sorry to say Fabs but I am very puzzled by your comments on the Browning Auto 5. You see I have just acquired on of 1954 vintage with 25" barrel. As it had to be restricted to hold only two shots in the magazine so it falls into the Shotgun laws, if it still held 5 rounds it would be a firearm and so more restrictive regulations. It has taken several weeks to actually get my hands on it. Anyway the other day I fired it for the first time and brought down a high flying Crow.

Now I cannot say that I really felt any recoil I was more surprised by the sound of the gun the report seemed muted and the clacking sound of the action working was noticable. As yet I have not had the chance to try it again and want to try it on a doubles. If the Pigeons or Crows don't co-operate I will have to try and get over to shoot some clays with it.
