The Gentleman's Gauge Reimagined

The Browning A5 Ultimate Sweet 16 represents the pinnacle of shotgun craftsmanship—a working gun that doesn't compromise on artistry. The 16 gauge occupies a unique place in the shooting world, offering the handling characteristics of a 20-gauge with shot capacity approaching a 12-gauge, all wrapped in a package that's lighter and more balanced than either.

Design and Construction

This semi-automatic shotgun features a satin nickel receiver with brushed accents and scroll engraving depicting pheasants on the left and mallards on the right. The Grade III Turkish walnut stock wears a gloss oil finish and includes vertical grip shaping with shim adjustability for length of pull, cast, and drop. The jeweled bolt slide and 22 lines-per-inch checkering underscore the attention to detail throughout.

Performance Features

Kinematic Drive System — Browning's recoil-operated action cycles smoothly and reliably, backed by a 100,000-round or five-year guarantee.

Barrel and Sight System — The 26-inch ventilated rib barrel features back-bored technology and a lengthened forcing cone for superior patterning. A fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead provide quick target acquisition.

Ergonomic Advantages

  • Humpback receiver design for natural point of aim
  • Inflex II recoil pad for reduced felt recoil
  • Ergonomic bolt latch for smooth operation
  • Speed Load Plus for quick reloading

Versatility and Reliability

The A5 Ultimate comes with three Invector-DS choke tubes (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder) to adapt to any hunting situation or clay target discipline. Nickel Teflon coating ensures corrosion resistance, while the back-bored design and Vector Pro forcing cone deliver exceptional patterns with steel shot.

Whether you're pursuing upland game or breaking clays, the A5 Ultimate Sweet 16 combines proven reliability with refined aesthetics—a shotgun that performs as beautifully as it looks.
