I didn't want to resurrect an old thread on this so thought I'd start a new one.
I was just wondering how those of you that bought one of the new A5 Sweet Sixteens like your guns now that you have had a chance to carry them in the field??
I was on a list to get one from my local dealer but when the gun finally arrived in January I was in Arizona for the winter and passed on the gun. Still haven't put one to the shoulder yet. However, as I've been hunting with my 1960 Sweet this season I find myself asking "Why would I want to replace this bird killing machine?" Yes my gun is heavier than the new ones but it fits me great and I miss very little with it. Still something cool about having that solid chuck of steel in your hands. Think I'll continue to pass on the new ones because my 1960 Sweet Sixteen is so SWEEEEEET!
