Wanted: Semi auto 16 gauge

The model 11 was produced by Remington under a license from John Browning, who had licensed it to FN in Belgium. Browning did not buy the patent from Remington.

Oh yeah, that's right. John Browning design. Real early, Like 1900 or something??
 
If you have to shoot steel, just save the money for a new Browning A5. Now, I may go against the grain here for some, but if you do, try to find the stalker model. Its all black. The camo ones are nice but Browning had some issues with the stocks and foreends on some of their camo guns getting sticky and they had to replace them. The stalker model can be found cheaper than the camo version anyway. Or you can buy and wood one and modify it if you need it.
 
These modern 16 gauge are not the same as the ones made in the 50s. They are not as well made, and the wood isn't as good, or the steel.

I kinda agree. This C.N.C. jazz is a double-edged sword. Fit and finish is very good sometimes perfect. The weight is usually less. Screw in chokes make them a lot more versatile. And they are a lot cheaper. But they just don't touch a guy like a turn of the century to pre 64's do.
 
I have a TriStar Viper G2 Bronze in 20 guage. Shot it a lot. Lifetime warranty from Buds. I’ve almost bought a 28 multiple times, just too many other shiny distractions. At $600 a few years ago I felt it was a deal. At close to $900 today, maybe not so much. But then, an A400 or SBE3 is pushing $2000.
 
Those are a thing of beauty. Love mine except I can’t shoot a pump worth a darn. I guess I get excited in the heat of the moment and can’t remember to pump in a new shell. Its funny and frustrating all at the same time.
