Sweet 16 for me, hands down.

Standard A5 16ga would be runner up...

if 16ga , what TSELLIOT said . If also 12ga , I'd add the Win 59 and the Browning DA . (which qualifies for 16ga with the one Nick made)

Difficult to say, as one can change up any of the noted models, or any other offering, with features, particulars and geejaws that turn it from swell to yuck in a heartbeat.

Mechanically, errors in design, construction or materials normally do the winnowing over Time and one remains left with a preference amongst all the semi-auto scatterguns that work.
And work, truely matters with the matching of any choice with a shooter's style, target and covert...add in ego and desire to impress onlookers.

Personally, if the Sweet 16 Auto 5 is not too light, has no rib on the barrel and is scratched and blue-worn then I would give it the nod.
Otherwise, it's just another option in a day.

The best drive-thru coffee...Tim Hortons.

Again, I don't shoot one of the listed. When I do shoot an auto, it is for winter clays and I like a Beretta 303. If I pick from the list, I would go with a small frame 20ga 1100 Rem (I think they made one)

All A5s but I like my straight stocked guns the best

Just refinised the wood and converted it to a 3 shot

Here's my favorite 2 shot automatic.

With a change of barrels you can shoot different gauges!

The only Auto-Loader that I have owned in 16 gauge was and is a Remington 1100. So since I have not had a hankering to buy another AutoLoader, guess I have to vote for the 1100. I never liked the looks of the A5, but I have always heard the are great shotguns.
