Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While this O/U is unsightly, the Browning A-5, a hugely successful firearm and in production for more than 100 years, was/is obviously attractive to many people. In years past, and if you were a real bird hunter, you had a Browning A-5, especially so in the Deep South. So Brent, I have to disagree with you in terms of the attractiveness of the A-5. Im wondering if your disapproval relates to your fondness for and affectation in the belief that the SxS is the only way to go for bird hunting?
