Browning A5 recoil versus Benelli SBE

[fabsroman]

jmarriott,

I don't think either of them are light 12's. My other uncle, related through marriage, that I used to hunt with, bought one at the same time as my dad and my dad's brother. However, his had a gold trigger. When I asked my dad why Uncle Oscar's had a gold trigger, but not his or my Uncle John's, my dad told me it was because Uncle Oscar's was a lighter model.

By the way, I did happen to know that the entire barrel on the A5 moves with the recoil. I usually push the barrel down some to make it easier to screw on the mag cap after cleaning it. I used that auto for several years before becoming enamoured with o/u's. After shooting o/u's for several years, I found the hump on the A5 a little weird. Hence, the purchase of the SBE. Oh yeah, might have just purchased the SBE because I had that gotta buy a new gun feeling.
