Just got this months American rifleman and they have the A-5 Sweet Sixteen. That may be a must for me this year. $1700 is the price for it.

I searched and didn't see another thread.

ETA website: A5 Sweet Sixteen

I've got almost $1000 in Cabelas giftcards and I've been thinking about what gun I wanted to buy. I think I've found my answer

I've always been very intrigued by the .16. I love O/U but this just has IT.

My grandfather has 2 older sweet sixteens that I was hoping to get one day. I always loved shooting those guns. Killed my first deer with one of them.

Son of a bitch, I just bought a damn shotgun.
Always wanted one of those.

I knew before Christmas that I'd be getting another gun soon and Ebay had $100 Cabelas giftcards for $80. I picked up $500 worth for $400 and got another $400 for Christmas.

I have a Sweet 16 (Belgium made) given to me in 1950 by my father that probably has had less than 10 boxes of shells shot in it. Needless to say it will be passed on to one of my Grand Sons.

I feel very lucky but 16 Ga shells are getting more expensive and hard to get.

3" and 3.5" 16ga would be legit

16ga buckshot is the only thing that really sucks. The only factory load available is from federal and doesn't pattern particularly well in my gun.

Hopefully this will revitalize the 16ga. It's perfect for me.

A few ticks under 6 pounds I see. I'm intrigued.

I was reading that Browning may manufacture their own 16 gauge shells

Check out Able Ammo. Bought a case of High Power #6s for around $80 shipped to my house. Good selection of 16 ga shells.

I checked at Puglia's about a month ago. Still wasn't released.

It will be only in 2 3/4 in I believe.

Will buy as soon as I can.

I own the DU version.

Needs a 3", would really help to push the 16 gauge again

The only downside to 16ga


If the shells were as available as 12 or 20 gauges, I would be 100% 16 gauge.

Am I the only one who thinks this new one is ugly? I'm all about bringing the 16 back though.
