The Browning A5 Lightning Sweet 16 is a 16-gauge autoloading shotgun built for hunters and clay shooters who want a nimble, refined gun without the recoil penalty of larger gauges. This semi-auto delivers reliable performance in a classic profile: a gloss black anodized receiver pairs with Turkish walnut furniture finished to a warm sheen, and the Lightning-style rounded grip stock gives it the kind of ergonomic, pointing feel that swings naturally to target. At 28 inches, the barrel is a versatile hunting and sporting length that balances weight and sight radius for varied game and clay presentations.
The stock is engineered for fit: a shim system lets you dial in length of pull, cast, and drop to your frame and shooting style, while 18 lines-per-inch checkering provides genuine grip security when your hands are wet or cold. A fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead give you quick, reliable sight acquisition in variable light—essential when birds are moving or targets break unexpectedly. Three Invector-DS choke tubes ship with the gun, giving you the flexibility to tune patterns for different distances and game, from upland birds to clay courses.
This is a 2021 SHOT Show special edition that combines Browning's A5 inertia system—proven across millions of rounds—with understated, functional elegance. Whether you're working a dove field, stepping into clay sports, or hunting waterfowl in an open season, the Sweet 16 delivers the ballistics and handling of a trusted autoloader in a frame that feels lighter and shoots softer than its 12-gauge cousins.
