As an earlier poster said, my Father loved me. I too was raised on 16 bore. Back then, in the late 50's and through the 60's, where I lived the dream for birds was a Browning Sweet 16. I've never owned one and it's unlikely I will, just not my thing. That, and truth be told, I am not much of a shotgunner. HOWEVER...all I own is 16 bore double guns, combination guns and drillings, BP and Nitro proofed. The old ones get brass hulls and black powder while the "new" ones get their called for 2 1/2 handloaded hulls. If I remember correctly...(something that is always suspect)...my "newest" 16 bore is from the 1930's.
