Any of you that have them or have had them. How reliable are they? They cycling light loads ok? Jamming? I've had a couple and only used for turkey never shot them much other than that. They fit me well and been thinking about getting another. Dont care what someone heard from someone else want to know from the people have shot them. Thanks.

Mine cycles everything I feed it. Recoil is light with everything except TSS. Fits great and is really light. The only time it has given me an issue was duck hunting at Reelfoot the day of the January snowstorm this year. I had never truly deep cleaned it and it froze up on me. To be fair, several others had the same issue with their guns as well. Dang it was cold!!! I don't really have any negatives to share about it. It's just a great gun.

They are awesome! Only shotgun I shoot, other than my over and under for upland, but bought the new A5 20 for that just waiting on not to come in, they said Dec to March…..

That clothes grabbing recoil pad looks to be a hindrance and destroys the looks of the gun.
I reckon it could be replaced with a butt-plate of some kind though.
My 1920's model solid rib 12 gauge has been a wonderful gun and my Miroku Browning A-5 is great too.
I've toyed with trying a new one in 16 gauge.

I've got a new sweet 16. Posted about it on here a year ago when I first got it but the SOB kept sheering off the extractor off the front of the bolt. Replaced one myself and it sheared that one off too. So it had to go back to Browning for about 3 months or so.
But, since I got it back it's been absolutely fine. Shoot quite a bit this dove season and never a problem. Plan to bird hunt with it some and maybe a duck hunt or two later this fall.
