Interested to hear as well. Have an older side by side in 16 ga that's always been fun to shoot.

I have only handled one and liked the balance. I’m impressed Browning is making them again.

It's the Ducks Unlimited gun of the year this year. I plan to get one at the DU event this year.

I have and old one made in Belgium in 1908.

Still as smooth as ever. Amazing gun.

I’ve shot a buddy of mines. I liked it. Shoulders really sweet and recoil isn’t bad at all for a light gun. I still wish they’d have made it in a 20ga though. If they’d ever make a synthetic 20ga A5 I’d retire my old Mag Twenty Auto 5 and shoot a 20ga for everything. I’d never pick up my 12 again I don’t believe

The Sweet 16 was not introduced to the public until 1937. Anything earlier was just an Auto 5 in 16 gauge. Still a nice gun. I have a unfired 1961 sweet 16 for sale if anyone interested. Gun packed with cosmoline, but do not have the original box.

I really want one of the current models. I shouldered one a gun store about a year ago and fell in love. Nice balance and very light.

Yes sir. I rarely ever break out a 12ga anymore. Most all of my hunting is done with a 20ga now. Has been for the last few years. Most of my buddies have swapped over to strictly 20ga as well

Email address? My dad has a pre-Sweet 16 Auto 5 16, but I have been considering finding a mint Belgium made Sweet 16 as well.
