Thank you guys for the replies.
Started looking for an Auto 5 in 16 gauge. But I have a wack load of Rimfire projects on the go.
Watch the auctions - Switzers, Landsborough, Kidd, and the like. Even the smaller local auctions can be a gold-mine of reasonably-priced, previously-loved firearms. That is where I won my minty .12ga Belgian Browning A5 for $450 CAD.
