I have always considered 16 bore to be a bit pointless and most of the guns I have tried have been pretty y exciting experiences.
This in mind Archie at Sportarm invited me up to try his new toy, a true scaled 16 bore over and under by Perazzi!

Here in the states, the sweet 16 is still a popular gauge upland hunting gun. I use my Browning Auto 5 16 gauge made in 1957 for sage grouse and pheasants. My Turkish made Stevens 555 in 16 gauge is my grouse, dove and quail gun. I've even used it for jump shooting teal and mallards a few times. We have bismuth and steel cartridges available from Kent, Heavy Shot, Winchester, Federal and Remington. These guns are a joy to carry in the field.

I am 16ga devotee! My "go to" gun for walk up pheasant hunting is a 16ga Specialty grade LC Smith from the early 1930s. For decoying ducks, I love my 16ga Browning A5. I've even got a 16ga FAIR Prestige that's lots of fun. Overall, I think the 16ga is underrated and certainly under appreciated. Seeing it make a bit of a comeback makes me smile.

I have a browning 525 shadow 16 bore. Its a great gun for hunting with gamebore and mary arms 26 grams steel load cartridge's for pigeon, crow, duck,... and eley bismuth for the bigger game geese, foxes, hare,.. i love it.

@gtopp9619

Here in Wyoming, I prefer the Sixteen to the Twelve. Going up and down the hills in the Big Horns after Blue Grouse makes the lighter Sixteen worth its weight in gold. Yes, they carry like a Twenty and hit like a Twelve. Today's loads by Fiocchi and Federal have brought the Sixteen into the modern day. Great videos as always, Johnny!

@petertira8518

YES! Best Gauge Ever. Love my 16s. Nice to see so many new 16 gauge shotguns and new 16 gauge loads coming onto the U.S. market at least. Plenty of vintage 16 options out there as well.

@bsacadetmajor

I have 2 side by side 16 bore shotguns, one of them i have had 49 years its the only gun i use, I have used 12 bore but always go back to the 16, its a well under estimated cartridge.

@the45er

The 16 gauge was "king" in the 1930's and 1940's here in the U.S. Witness the beloved "Sweet 16" Browning humpback. Over time it fell out of grace. Because of our "American Way" of more and bigger is better, all I can say is that if you have/use a 16 gauge, it gives you no excuse for owning both a 12 and a 20! Seriously, if reloading components (especially good hulls) were available, I'd probably shoot the 16 almost exclusively! However, the expense and unavailability of 16 gauge shells over here preclude that from happening.

@markbutler1616

They truly are lovely to shoot and handle. The joy of differentness can only be felt and is next to impossible to explain. Thanks for posting!

@NC-xk1eg

IMO: Folks who don't care for a 16 probably haven't tried one. They're amazing.

@teamflanneloutdoors5631

Funny thing is here in the States during our recent "supply chain" ammo shortage I have seen more 16 (and 28) gauge shells than I have seen in my entire life.

@carlwatkins5052

I love my 16 gauge perazzi , perfect for game and few clays

@tempestmkiv

The 16 is awesome... to have one in a Perazzi would be exquisite!

@ditzydoo4378

Agreed, my father had a 16-bore SxS Parker with a Birdseye Maple stock. Beautiful to look at but would kick like you owed it money. My brothers Winchester model-12 in 16-bore on the other hand is a treat to carry and shoot, light as a feather, quick in the hands and deadly on game. So yes, it all comes down to how the gun is made and fits one.

@duanewellenkamp984

16 for upland hunting in the Mid West. Hits like a 12 and carries like a 20

@karrolsmulovic6596

I picked up a very nice 1920's EM Reilly 16 bore sxs hammer gun, has a Prince of Wales stock, weighs about 5lbs so can carry it about all day. Is my favorite gun and prefer it to my AYA No2. Shoot sporting clays with it and on a good day can give my friends a hard time with their over and unders. Had some new firing pins made for it and can usually get 7 or 7.5 shot cartridges, love it to bits, best £200 I have spent.

@tomhman6441

16 gauge has been my favorite now for 25 years . Shooting my 12 gauge guns less ,even shooting my 20 bore guns more.lots of fun.

@funkla65

For some reason, I've got The Eagles "New Kid in Town" playing in my head. ;-)

@JHruby

The 16 is the wingshooters gun for wingshooting. Because so many shooters do the vast, vast majority of their shooting at clays these days, the modern tendency has become to judge every shotgun by how it would shoot clays.

@GonzoTheRosarian

So I do not understand why I have become mesmerized by this channel….beautiful guns, beautifully filmed.

@es330td

I've never owned a shotgun having borrowed one of the many owned by relatives when I needed to shoot until last year when I was gifted my grandfather's 1942 Winchester Model 12 in 16 gauge. Having shot it and researched 16 gauge I am now a fan and am strongly considering buying a 16 gauge semi-auto.
