I own a Browning sweet sisteen , rib vent barrel, gold trigger. It is I believe a 1965 or 66 model. It was a gift from my dad, and for years all I ever heard was I needed to get rid of it, cause it was a dying breed .... and that was about 25 years ago and it is still around..... and even growing. The 16 ga. is all around a sweeter gun to shoot than a 12, it is lighter to carry, and it still carries plenty of power. I have used it for quail and duck..... and I am very happy with the results.
As the old saying goes, " Try it , ...... you'll like it ".
God Bless
