[QUOTE="Union Co. Boy, post: 5655259, member: 6264"] It depends on what the rings are set for. There are two different ring configurations. One is for heavy loads, and one is for light loads. If it is set for heavy loads, it will have trouble cycling light loads. If set for light and you shoot a heavy load, it will kick like a mule! You have to disassemble to gun to change the rings. Go online and look it up and, if possible, print off a diagram of the configurations. Pay close attention to the bevel on the smaller, solid ring and make sure that it is pointed in the appropriate direction. Both rings will be together in one configuration, and in the other they will be on opposite ends of the recoil spring if memory serves me correctly. I’ve been shooting Browning A5’s since I was 5. Killed my first two squirrels one evening with a Light 20 in Kentucky with my dad at that age. I can’t say enough about the quality of these guns. My son will be the third generation to use them and they still function as flawlessly as the did when my dad bought them used in the 60’s. Best of luck to you and congratulations on an iconic firearm. PM me anytime with any questions you may have and I’d be glad to attempt to assist. I hope this helps!!! [/QUOTE]
