I handled a new A5 Sweet 16 with the 26" barrel at Cabela's in Lubbock, Texas the other day, and I liked how it felt and handled. As I stated in my original post, the main reason I want the shorter barrel is so the shotgun will fit in the gun boots on my dog trailer. FYI for anyone...

That’s a lot cheaper than I expected it to be. Thank you for the information!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did Briley’s charge you for the work?

I’ve tried calling the dealers in my area, and so far no luck. I emailed customer service at Browning, but have not received a response yet.

I agree on the old Belgian made guns. I have a Belgian made Light 12, and wouldn't think about having it modified. However, as mentioned in the original post, this is a new Model A5 Sweet 16.

I purchased one of the new Browning A5 Sweet 16 shotguns a few years back and absolutely love it, but there's one problem. The only one I could find had the 28" barrel. When you combine that barrel length with the length of the receiver, the gun is so long that it will not fit in the gun boots...

I bought a Browning Silver Hunter 12 gauge with a 26” barrel a few years ago, and it has never failed me. It has a 3” chamber, but I’ve never shot anything but 2 and 3/4” shells in it. Here’s the thing, it always shoots any and everything I feed it from an ammo standpoint and never fails to...

I won’t be hunting the Kansas opener this year. We’re leaving Texas on Saturday for SD and will be up there hunting for a week. On the trip home, we’re going to take a side route and look some country over. If it appears promising, we’ll go back and hunt in Kansas after Thanksgiving...

We’re hunting a new place near Presho this year, with similar accommodations and hunting like you’re offering. If it ends up not being what we’re wanting, I may contact you about available dates for fall 2023.

NICE! When I saw the title, I was really hoping it was an A5. Remind me of what the “opening” is for on the offside of the receiver.

I've got two of them and highly recommend them. They're tough and fit dogs really well. I use them on my pointers when it's extremely cold or to protect the underline on a bitch that has just weaned pups.

I have a Garmin Tri-Tronics Pro 70 that I've been using for 5-6 years. I run 5 collars off of the one controller and it always works flawlessly. I highly recommend this unit if you're needing to run multiple e-collars.

Quail numbers in the Rolling Plains, west Texas, and the panhandle were low, again, so I mainly worked dogs and took very few quail. Quail numbers in Deep South Texas were really good, but access to places to hunt is extremely limited down there due to nearly all land tied up in high dollar...

Thank you for letting us know the state you hunt in! I've already looked, and it's a little too far for me to hauling dogs to Oregon to bird hunt. You won't have to worry about any competition from me for Oregon upland birds.

I went back to my doctor today and he removed the bandage from the arthroscopic surgery. They told me to keep using one crutch for a couple of days, just for balance. They did not assign me to rehab/physical therapy, but instead gave me some exercises to do at home (hallelujah). The knee...

Those pictures are awesome! I’m also curious where those mixed bags of birds came from. Our quail and pheasant hunting in Texas has been less than average the last few years. Now that I’m retired “have dogs will travel” has become my motto.

I go back to the doctor tomorrow, Tuesday May 16, for the one week follow up/post surgical appointment. I’ll report back tomorrow evening and let you know what he says.

I started having problems with my left knee this past bird season and hobbled through the end of quail season in February. I finally went to an orthopedic doctor and he diagnosed me with a torn meniscus. He gave me a steroid shot in my knee and that helped some, for a while, but the pain and...

Try dusting your jeans from your knees down and especially the cuffs of your pants and boots with powdered sulfur (like what you can buy in the garden store) before you go walking in the grass and weeds. I know it will deter chiggers/red bugs and I’m guessing ticks too, because I’ve never found...

On several occasions my English Pointers have locked up hard on point on deer and also on wild hogs (I live and hunt in Texas) that were bedded in tall, thick grass. A couple of years ago, my best two dogs went on point and held, and I walked in expecting a covey of quail. Instead, they had...
