The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen builds on "The Legend" with modern engineering that delivers reliability and performance. The original Browning Auto-5 is considered nothing less than a legend in hunting and shooting sports. Though the A5 shares only the name and humpback receiver profile with John M. Browning's original autoloader, these guns build on that legacy with the innovative Kinematic Drive System, making it the most reliable, fastest cycling, best balanced and softest shooting recoil-operated autoloader available.
The 16 gauge is known as "The Gentleman's Gauge" - 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 16 gauge is built on a smaller, lighter receiver for reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands.
