A5 16gauge

Both. I’m going to start with a new one while I’m looking for an older one.

You will enjoy the light weight of the new Sweets. Although my 1960 Sweet with 26" ribbed barrel in just a tad over 7 lbs. Both great guns but I prefer the new one due to the weight and choke tubes. I'm not a fan of Prairie Storm ammo. I'd recommend the Federal HV Upland loads or the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant. Either 5 or 6 shot and IC or Mod choke. Enjoy and have fun with the new shooter.

I shot some 20 gauge prairie storm ammo this year in SD. I didn’t really like it. Standard Kent 2 3/4” fast lead and Fiocchi GP worked just fine and without the recoil. I patterned some and it didn’t pattern as good either.
