Post by: Tom007 on January 07, 2021, 06:14:50 PM
Browning Sweet 16 ready for 2021 opener. Gun is lightweight, just over 5 pounds. Apex 7.5 shot should drop the hammer on them. Good luck to all. Thanks, be safe

Thank you very much. Yea, I wanted a lighter, solid gun to run & gun with. The 16 gauge intrigued me. I had to get it into my turkey Arsenal. It's a great mid gauge alternative. Be safe, thank you..

Thats a sharp looking gun! Firs one I've seen setup with the new a5. Can't wait to see you get one with it. How do you like the meadow creek mount?

I really like the Meadow Creek mount and Burris Fast Fire 3 Red Dot.  The gun patterns real well, not much kick. I had a Briley custom Turkey choke made for it, .600 constriction. Throws the Apex load of TSS in a nice tight even pattern out to 40. I can't wait to tip one over with it. Be safe, best of luck this spring....

Thanks for sharing your new setup, that's really nice. How does the 16, ga 2 3/4 TSS , compare to the old discontinued 12, ga. Federal Premium Heavy weight number 7 ?

Both shoot real well Greg. Difference in the amount of shot, 1 7/8 oz in the Fed,  vs 1 5/8 oz in the Apex. I am happy with both patterns...thx be safe

Hi! I was wondering what stock is on the gun, or if you painted one you already had? Thanks!

lol - I sent Tom007 a PM earlier today asking the same thing. I think they wrapped camo over the wood but not sure? I love the look of that gun!

The wood stock is covered with Mossy Oak Bottomland gun skin wrap. Fantastic product. Easy to install using hair dryer, looks dipped when it's done. Will not harm stock finish. You order it precut for the model gun you have. Thx

Great product, Mossy Oak Graphics Gun Skins. Looks dipped when it's done. Use a hair dryer, take your time. Thank you, be safe...

I got one last Sunday with an old stevens model 94 16ga. Was really impressed with how well the apex #9s did in a fixed full choke. It's a pleasure to carry and it got the job done I don't think I'll ever carry anything else.

How do you like the gun now that season is nearly over?
I looked at one the other day and really liked it.

Great gun, lightweight, no recoil, pleasure to carry around. Patterns al well. Great alternative to the 12. Be safe...
