I've been using a camo Browning Silver for about the last 8 years with a limb saver on it for hunting along the shore and on the salt water. I find it really good, low recoil with 3.5" loads, fits me well and is very corrosion resistant. I've had the itch lately and the Browning a5s in Vintage Tan have been catching my eye. I usually like blued and wood guns. I mainly bought the silver for the corrosion resistance. Weight isn't really a factor for this gun as I rarely carry it far. I have heard some people complaining about the cerakote on the wicked wings rusting on the top and side of the ribs, other than that I would pick up an Cenergy and try that for something different. What's everyone else using on and around the salt water?

I used wood and blued 870 wingmaster. I oil as normal and then just paste wax the stocks and metal surfaces. Clean and dry off and reapply as needed each time out. I also have a gun sleeve that is water repellant that I use to carry in and out of the sal####er marsh.
I use a cynergy Wicked wing in 12g 3.5" Have 28" barrels has been my go to Brant gun for many years and in fact spent a night on the bottom of Georgia straight after our punt flipped. Soaked in fresh water and re oiled some parts good to go. Some chipping but no rust on the cerakote by the forearm, Probably my fault as I tend to rest it on the punts gunnel.
