Browning

The Browning A5 Ultimate Sweet Sixteen is a 16-gauge semi-automatic field shotgun fitted with a 26-inch vent rib barrel and a 2.75-inch chamber. It pairs Browning’s short-recoil Kinematic Drive with a Grade III Turkish walnut stock and a satin nickel engraved receiver. The design targets upland hunting and sporting clays where a lighter, well-balanced gun and refined sighting plane are assets. Checkering and an Inflex recoil pad provide functional ergonomics for extended use.
