Well, the resale generally sucks, should be to your advantage as a buyer. The variety and availability of factory ammo sucks as well, not an advantage,; you may want to reload if you plan to use it on a regular basis

I only shoot 16 ga for trap, I don`t hunt, I also reload for it, lots of good load recipes, I am from Minnesota and the 16 ga is the go to gun for Grouse, grew up with a single barrel Sears and robuck. here is a pic of my browning citori lightening, I had the adjustable comb installed, I also like the browning A-5, Ithaca 37 pump, winchester 37 single barrel, have 3, and a couple of European classic double barrels from the 1920`s. Go for it, great gauge and its coming back
The sweet 16 is a nice gun. In the years since they were offered, Ammo has all but dried up. I did reload for it and even fifteen years ago, wads got tricky to obtain. You still have to have hulls to reload, so you can never get away from ammo issues affecting your ability to load. Some people may only shoot a box a year, some shoot 4 boxes in league and 4 boxes in practice every week. I tend to shoot higher volume, so $18.99 per box, AND only being able to find one or two boxes at a time, is a big turn off for me.
Like a pretty girl who is hard to talk to at the high school dance, you have to weigh out the other factors before you take her out, or you might not have a good time.
Looks like Kennedy759 might be the man to talk to, as It appears he has overcome some reloading hurdles.

Convince me why you need one

I've got 2 and have used them for squirrel, but ammo availability isn't the greatest and there's nothing it does that a more prevalent 12 or 20g won't do, IMO.

Probably shouldn't buy this one.
Nevermind, go for it.

In all seriousness I probably wouldn't buy another 16 gauge, but an older humpback A5 in 20 gauge would be really nice.
