Not the biggest fan of semi-auto upland guns, though I do greatly like the Benelli Montefeltro. But, after handling the new A-5, I must say as far as a 12 gauge goes, I'd probably opt for this Browning if looking at a semi-auto. A great design that is well thought out in this particular gun. But, it does have one flaw, it is not 20 gauge and it does not have two barrels
