Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the not-so-distant past...if your buddy uttered the phrase, "Sweet Sixteen," your eyebrows didn't go up because you knew he was talking about a Browning Auto-5 in 16 gauge; maybe it was the sweet way these guns handled, their light and trim dimensions, or it might have just had something to do with the way the phrase "Sweet Sixteen" rolled off the tongue. The in-between 16 is, to many hunters, the ideal ammunition for the perfect gun. A well designed 16 gauge is closer in weight to a 20 gauge, with a shot payload nearer the 12 gauge, and patterning that bests them both.
Like its most revered predecessor, the Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen Semi-Auto Shotgun is built on a sleek, lightweight receiver for reduced weight and improved handling. The A5 is a fast-cycling, versatile, recoil-operated shotgun featuring the same functional receiver profile the old humpback Auto-5 was famous for that extends the length of your sight plane, aiding in natural sight alignment—now with a rugged, lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum alloy receiver for reduced weight. The A5 Sweet Sixteen boasts a traditional walnut stock and forend for a timeless look, while the Inflex II Technology recoil pad drastically reduces felt recoil for faster follow-up shots and reduced fatigue. A vented rib and fiber-optic front sight allow you to take full advantage of the A5's long sight plane with positive swing and follow-through, and state-of-the-art Invector-DS (Double Seal) improve accuracy and shot density, while sealing out dirt and fouling gases for superior performance. The Browning Kinematic Drive System cycles virtually any load without adjustment, and boasts consistent performance—even after the barrel and receiver are hot after multiple consecutive shots. The A5's rugged design, combined with all the Sweet Sixteen's added features, ensures superb performance.
