i have about 9 our guns and they shoot OO buck awesome but only out to 50 or so yards... if your going for distance get a gun with a choke ont he end and put in a turkey choke. I shoot a benilli superblack eagle with 3 1/2 inch oobuck with a 665 turkey ckoke and have dropped deeer out to 90 yards easy my 2 cents

There are infact, guys at my hunt club who make a practice of shooting deer at 100 yards with buckshot. Its 2 3/4" loads (as they are MUCH faster) and typically 00 or 000. What you don't hear about is all of the cripples that get lost, or dead deer that get found a couple of days later. Its honestly sad, and there isn't much anyone can do about it. Buckshot is a 45-50 yard and under tool. Period. I have tested it out of just about everygun, with damn near every choke you could imagine. Written about it, read about it, studied it and fooled with it. I have worked with machinist to make custom chokes, barrels and guns, with custom loads...and save a few RARE exceptions, NOTHING will get the job done 100% of the time past about 50 yards. Anything past that....is just plain luck.

Man, A5's are getting more and more expensive and desired by collectors. I suggest getting you a good remington 1187 with a screw in choke and put your A5 away if its in good condition.

Why would you want to use Buck shots ongames when slugs these days are very accurate out of this gun , unless you are going to use it for SD purposes?Anyway to answeryour question, my A-5 really like #1 buck and it shoot a tight pattern out to 45 yards. My A-5 get clover leafs with slugs at 50 yards and 2-3" at 100yards, this is with a smooth bore and iron site.
Great gun and you should enjoy your new toy.

An A-5 is a lifetime gun. Shoot it and pass it on down the line. If all you are going to do is look at it every once in a while you might as well melt it down.
