Why?Why? 20 or 12 will do the deed.
I have been shooting 1&3/4 shells recently....no recoil, and that's with buck.......
I would never perpetuate such a blasphemous thing as talking anyone out of buying another firearm. Regardless of gauge or caliber. Just saying.For some reason, I have been thinking about getting a 16...
What is currently available that would be worth trying out?
But I don't want to spend a fortune...
If I found a decent Sweet Sixteen...
no, haven't seen one in the wild.Hey @Expat , you pick one of these up yet?
Yet..no, haven't seen one in the wild.
American made 16's before about 1930 may have the shorter chambers also. Best to have the chamber checked on those.Have one, after doing some research years ago, hard to understand why they lost favor. Marketing is reason I’m guessing, at one time 12’s were king, 28’s had favor, .410’s for a season. Last looked which was season or two ago 20’s were hot.
If my 16 side by side didn’t double fire and I still hunted, it would be my go to any day. It was lighter and very closely loaded to a 12 gauge.
Watch out for European 16 gauges there are some that are chambered for 2 1/2 or 2 9/16, something like that, instead of 2 3/4 modern ammo.
Everybody wants the Browning sweet 16, great marketing. My 2 cents.
Fondled one in 28. I drooled a bit.I would never talk anyone out of a 16 ga. I would however recommend tracking down a CZ sxs in 16 ga, they are awesome upland and clay guns.
Went ahead and ordered a 16 g Browning Citori. Thanks to the right thinking Americans in the group.
Not one I am familiar with.I just found a Bayard (sic) 16 g double shotgun at a LGS, they have a great price, I own no 16g guns but I’m loving this, it has Pieper and Diana on it… any info with what little I’ve put on here?
