There is a reason old timers called the 16 gauge the gentleman's gauge. It carries like a 20, hits closer to a 12, and patterns beautifully with the right choke. Browning built the A5 Sweet Sixteen on a true 16 gauge sized receiver, not a 12 gauge frame with a smaller hole, so the gun stays trim and quick to the shoulder. The Wicked Wing treatment takes that classic and dresses it for the marsh with Burnt Bronze Cerakote on the barrel and humpback receiver, plus Auric camo on the synthetic stock and forend to keep you hidden when birds are working the spread.
Everything about this setup is aimed at waterfowl. The bore and chamber are chrome plated to shrug off moisture and corrosion, and the oversized bolt release and bolt handle are easy to run with cold or gloved hands. The 26 inch barrel keeps things maneuverable in a blind or layout without giving up swing, and the flat vent rib wears a fiber optic front sight with an ivory mid bead for a clean sight picture in low light. Feeding it all is a 2.75 inch chamber with a 4 plus 1 capacity.
Instead of a gas system, the A5 uses Browning's recoil operated Kinematic Drive, which keeps powder fouling out of the action and cycles a wide range of loads with authority. Browning stands behind it with a 100,000 round or five year guarantee, which tells you how much confidence they have in the design. Three extended Invector-DS choke tubes come in the box, styled like leg bands and easy to swap between decoying birds and passing shots.
With 16 gauge ammo widely available again, this gauge is enjoying a real comeback, and this gun is a big part of the reason. It shoots soft, points naturally thanks to that long humpback sighting plane, and it does not beat you up after a full morning of shooting. For ducks over decoys, doves, or a long day of upland walking, this one pulls its weight and then some.
The 16 gauge splits the difference in the best way. You get handling and weight closer to a 20 gauge with a payload that gets near 12 gauge territory, and many hunters find it patterns exceptionally well. Because Browning built the Sweet Sixteen on a proper 16 gauge receiver, it stays light and lively instead of feeling like a downsized 12.
It runs on Browning's Kinematic Drive System, a short recoil operation rather than a gas system. That keeps powder gases and gunk out of the action, which means less cleaning and reliable cycling in nasty weather. Browning backs the system with a 100,000 round or five year guarantee.
It ships with three extended Invector-DS choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. They have a Goose Band style finish that matches the waterfowl theme, and the extended design makes swapping them by hand quick between setups. The Invector-DS system seals tight to keep fouling out of the threads.
Yes, the Invector-DS choke system and barrel are designed to run modern steel and other nontoxic loads commonly used for ducks and geese. The chrome plated bore and chamber also add wear and corrosion resistance for a long service life. Just stick with the appropriate choke constrictions recommended for steel, as with any shotgun.
