I responded with over and under, because I have one I really like, but I also have side by sides, a pump, and a bolt action in 16 ga and I am thinking I need a Browning A5 Sweet 16 so I will have an outo loader.

It was meant to be, which action type do you shoot the most. Sorry for not being more clear.

Like a lot of others, I shoot more than one action. Voted sxs because I shoot it the most, but I also enjoy the Remington Sportsman 48.

I responded over/under. In looking at my modest collection, I note that the clear majority of guns in the safe are 16 ga. Most are O/U but I do have several SXS models in various gauges.

Over time. I have come to view guns as simply "tools" for breaking clays or killing birds. I keep those that seem to work well for me and discard those that do not. SXS guns look "racy" and cool, but do not do the job for me in the field or at the range like an O/U. Anyone want a damn nice 16 SXS? Since I do not seem to shoot SXS models as well as I shoot Autos and O/Us so I'm gonna sell off a fine little 16 SXS. PM me if interested.

16 pump for squirrels, 16 sxs for birds,
16 Skeet Model 21 is gone! Simply too light for me for SKEET. OK for hunting but heavy.-Dick

Generally I shoot sxs for most of my shooting. I take out the pump or o/u a few times a year.
When hunting only sxs anymore. Of course all 16's

Just SxS

The only thing on the list I don't have in a 16 is an o/u. I also don't have a bolt. Right now, I'm enjoying my sxs the most, so that's how I voted. JOHN

I answered s/s because I hunt with two, a 16ga and 28ga. I also hunt with an o/u 16ga.

OSL!!

I help you kill birds on Monday and Tuesday your selling the gun out from under me??

You'd better be pouring strong whisky when I get over there!! Just like an an officer of the court!

I'll take the gun with me tonight! No more selling my new (ish) toys!

Now Ash ol' pal...

You KNOW you'd get "first dibs" against any other interested party. Besides, nobody ever really sells much on this site anyhow!

So how's your head this afternoon? I think the Old Charter worked on you last night! Saw you'd been by the ranch today to retrieve your truck. Thank goodness for wives with a good sense of humor for drive home times! Laughing

Hard to answer, voted for pum, Rem. 31. Also shoot a Sweet 16, Rem 48 Sportsman and a Ithaca SxS in 16s almost equally.

Hope you are planning to bring your SxS or pump guns to Georgia later this month to participate in the 2nd Annual 16 Gauge SocietySkeet Event at the NSSA's World Vintage Skeet Championships. Programs available upon request from this writer.
