Browning Unveils New A5 20 Gauge Camo Shotguns
Published on Janurary 20, 2026 by Browning Staff
Browning keeps the A5 train rolling in 2026 with the introduction of the A5 Camo 20 Gauge. A master at providing customers with what they want without reinventing the wheel, the A5 20 Gauge Camo lineup of shotguns is a direct response to the overwhelming success of the A5 Hunter 20 Gauge, a shotgun proven to be popular amongst upland goers.
Why the camo options?
The A5 is an all-purpose shotgun, with waterfowl goers spanning the globe dominating the skies with A5 12 and 16 Gauge makes. For 2026, Browning ensures sub-gauge lovers have plenty of camo options to tote to the fields, marshes, and river bottoms with an exciting lineup of A5 20 Gauge models engineered to be waterfowl wreckers.
What Makes The A5 20 Gauge Camo Great?
The best waterfowl days are often wet, grimy, and cold. Enter the bulletproof composite stock with vertical grip with textured gripping surfaces to ensure spot-on handling no matter how brutal Mother Nature gets. The worse the conditions, the better the A5 20 Gauge Camo performs.
The legendary humpback receiver melds into the ¼" raised rib, extending the sight plane while enhancing the shooter’s natural point of aim. Fitted with an ivory mid-bead and red fiber-optic front bead, target acquisition is immediate. Blend this with lighter weight and reduced recoil created by 20-gauge payloads - further enhanced by Browning’s Inflex II recoil pad - and you’ll pull more doubles and triples.
Naturally, Browning didn’t ignore shooter customization. The A5 20 Gauge Camo is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, and comes with ¼" and ½" stock spacers. While Browning’s Invector-DS choke tubes are factory, the patterns these chokes create are second to none, meaning you don’t have to spend more money on custom tubes.
Camo Color Options
Concerning camo options, Browning didn’t disappoint with limited pattern offerings. Whether you want to match your A5 20 Gauge Camo to your terrain, or you have a waterfowl camo pattern you prefer over others, Browning provides.
The Browning A5 20 Gauge Camo is available in the following camo patterns:

10 Builds To Choose From
Available in barrel lengths of 26 and 28 inches, A5 20 Gauge models swing smooth and quick and readily digest both 2-¾"and 3" shotshells. All 10 models, thanks to their weights of 5 pounds 13 ounces (26-inch barrel) and 5 pounds 14 ounces (28-inch barrel), are a joy to tote to and from the field and promise excellent handling when birds are bombing in on the deeks.
