Well, I found a Gobbler far into a ridge last week. ONX plotted him almost 4 miles in. I decided to take my Sweet 16 on this long trek, I never harvested a bird with it since I only took it out a few times. Yesterday I took a fine Mountain gobbler with it. It dropped him in his tracks. The gun weighs 5.12 pounds, carrying it in and out was a dream. I think this is now my gun of choice, it weighs nothing, shoulders well and is a dream to shoot. Recoil is almost nothing. If your looking for a lightweight sub gauge gun that performs real well, don't count out the 16 gauge. It will see the woods a lot moving forward. Be safe, good luck!
