| The Sweet Sixteen market has been strong this past year. $700.00 for any vent rib Sweet16 in good condition is an excellent price. |

| That sounds like a good deal but for me it would have to have the cross bolt safety and two piece lifter. |

I just bought a real nice Browning Sweet 16 circa 1966 with a 28" Moroku barrel and the Invector Choke System, paid $1095 and this gun is 95-98%.
I hadn't fired an A-5 in a long time previous to purchasing this sporting arm and test fired it this past weekend, which prompts me to ask are you familiar with Browning A-5's ?
That pogo-stick action can be a little unsettling.
Nothing horrible, just expect some gyration and being unable to get an immediate bead on target for a follow up shot. |

I do not find it an issue for doubles but the cycle action is a bit distracting, especially at sporting clays. Which is why mine is used for hunting and not clays. During a hunt I never notice the action.
