The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen is a 16-gauge autoloading shotgun built for hunters who want all the performance of a 12-gauge in a lighter, more elegant package. This 2022 model pairs a compact, lightweight receiver with Browning's proven short-recoil Kinematic Drive system and modern features like Invector-DS choke tubes and a fiber-optic front sight. At just over 6 pounds, the A5 Sweet Sixteen handles like a dream in the marsh or upland field—the gun that made the "Sweet Sixteen" name legendary is back and better than ever.
The heart of this shotgun is its short-recoil-operated Kinematic Drive, which harnesses recoil energy to cycle the action cleanly and reliably across a wide range of loads and extreme conditions. Because gases exit the barrel rather than cycling through the action, the A5 stays cleaner and functions dependably in wet, cold, and dirty environments. The humpback receiver profile is more than just classic styling—it increases the sighting plane, giving you a natural sight picture that modern hunters will appreciate. Three Invector-DS choke tubes let you dial in the right pattern for your hunting situation.
Built for durability, the A5 Sweet Sixteen wears a composite stock with textured gripping surfaces that hold firm whether your hands are wet or gloved. The stock is also shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, so you can fine-tune the fit. The Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo finish blends seamlessly in a variety of hunting environments, while the fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead help you stay on target in low light. This is a shotgun designed to work, and it's backed by Browning's confidence in its reliability.

The 16 gauge sits in a sweet spot between the 20 and 12 gauge. It delivers a shot payload closer to a 12-gauge with handling and weight nearer to a 20-gauge, offering excellent patterning and efficiency. It's often called the Gentleman's Gauge because a well-designed 16 loads less recoil than a 12 while still delivering plenty of shot.
The Kinematic Drive is Browning's short-recoil-operated system that harnesses the energy of recoil and converts it into mechanical motion to cycle the action. This design is simple, reliable, and clean—gases exit the barrel rather than cycling through the action, keeping the gun running smoothly in wet and dirty conditions.
Yes. The composite stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, allowing you to customize the fit to your frame and shooting style.
Three Invector-DS interchangeable choke tubes are included, letting you adjust the shot pattern for different hunting situations and distances.
