The twelve gauge versions are nothing special, but the Sweet 16 is sweet indeed. It's only a little uglier than the original steel receiver ones. If one wants prettier version of original one with same mechanism but more advanced alloy action there is the legendary and well-proven since ca. 1948 Franchi 48AL. Very, very nice upland shotgun.
