A Browning sure is a sweet shotgun. Wish I had the one I let get away from me some years ago. If I get another, I won't the same mistake again.

I have a sweet 16 w/26in barrel. Sweet gun very lite. A dream to carry. I hope to taken it to South Dakota. But for now, I do pretty well using it for Sporting Clays.i

[@HALWG51]

Fiocchi Golden Pheasants are my favorite 16 gauge load.

[@bosse641]

Sure want one. ....so nice. ...very sweet indeed.

[@nemanjavilimonovic3396]

The 16 gauge have a better group then 12 gauge?That's what it looks like on the video.

[@bigfish765]

Just picked up a sweet 16 this week.

[@oldschoolron8602]

Love my sixteens shotguns.

[@yuriys.6352]

good review )

[@semiauto3148]

Randy. Which gun would you pick between and beretta a400 or the benelli m2. In 20 gauge ? I prefer piston over inertia. But the benelli feels better to me But I haven’t shot either one.... thanks

[@RandyWakeman]

The M2 in 20 gauge-- it ids what I did pick and did buy for myself.

[@semiauto3148]

Ok. One last question. And sorry to keep bothering you ... but sa20 or m2 ?

[@poseidon5003]

I wish I could find one of these.

[@RandyWakeman]

They are quite easy to find: www.gunbroker.com/item/791315491 .

[@JOShaugh87]

You ever taken apart the bolt in this gun? Does it have a firing pin spring? Was cleaning mine and didn’t see one.

[@RandyWakeman]

It does not have a firing pin return spring.

[@JOShaugh87]

Randy Wakeman Thanks for your help, I was a little worried I might have lost it.

[@babaybluegill3273]

sweet piece! would be great for climbing up steep country hunting partridge

[@frankmccarthy2624]

I’d love to buy one but I live in CA and we have to shoot steel. Finding any 16 ga is hard enough but #6 steel (for upland) I’ve never even seen in this state. I’m really surprised the industry hasn’t given this gauge a rebirth, we get a new rifle cartridge every other week but we’ve had the same 4 shotgun gauges for decades….

[@RandyWakeman]

*Well, you don't "have" to shoot steel at all, as there are several bismuth and tungsten loads. It isn't the industry, it is the consumer, for there is nothing a 16 gauge can do that a 20 gauge cannot do better. Browning dumped their 16 gauge BPS, Ithaca dumped the M37 16 gauge due to lack of sales.*

[@leonardbeefbroth6287]

Is the browning sweet 16 made in japan or is it made in Belgium? I know the older ones are but is this one?

[@ivodalbello2313]

jonny franzen portugal

[@coonassliving8291]

These are the newest Sweet 16s from Browning made in Portugal. They brought it back for a while after the introduction of the new A5s. They are extremely hard to find. I had at least 6 gun stores try to get me one and they haven’t find one in 2 years.They were introduced in 2016 and I know a few people also on the hunt for one. If you can find one or own one you’re really lucky.

The 12 guage for geese with 3" shells was a jam o matic in cold weather. My Beretta A400 never skipped a beat.

[@TangoUniform300]

Do you think a 28 gauge is a great choice for pheasant?

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Randy, what are the best rifle slings for longs hunts. The best ive seen are the Vero Vellini, and the ultimate sling by Specialty Outdoor Products. You have any other suggestions?

[@RandyWakeman]

I don't use slings for wild pheasant hunting, as the gun always needs to be ready when hunting. There is also a lot of brush, very tall grass, streams to cross, and so forth.

[@matthewvandevalk3008]

if you had to choose between a benelli sbe2 or 3 or the newish browning a5 which would you choose?

[@RandyWakeman]

Fortunately, I don't have to! Both the A5 (in 12 gauge) and the SBE3 have issues. If I thought I needed a 3-1/2 inch gun, it would be the softest shooting one out there, the Remington Versa-Max. 2nd choice would be the Browning Maxus.

[@RandyWakeman]

randywakeman.com/TheDesignDefectoftheBenelliSuperBlackEagle3.htm explains why the SBE3 is real problem gun.
