Browning Silver Field 12ga Semi Auto Shotgun Non-Glare Composite
The Browning Silver Field 12-gauge semi-auto shotgun pairs time-tested reliability with practical design—a workhorse for hunters and clay shooters who want dependable performance without breaking the bank. Built around a gas-operated action and aluminum alloy receiver, the Silver handles everything from light field loads to heavy 3½-inch magnum shells thanks to Browning's Active Valve System, which cycles a wide range of ammunition reliably. The lightweight barrel and ventilated rib keep sight picture steady, while the composite stock and matte black finish shed weight and won't betray your position in the field.
This 12-gauge delivers the balance hunters expect: quick handling in tight cover, shooter-friendly ergonomics, and the durability Browning's name has earned over generations. Whether you're working upland birds, ducks, or breaking targets at the clay range, the Silver's proven platform gives you one less thing to worry about when the moment counts.
The gun ships with three Invector-Plus choke tubes, so you can tune patterns for your intended game—tighter constriction for distance, more open geometry for closer flushes. A brass front bead keeps your eye focused on the target, and the semi-humpback receiver profile balances aesthetics with function. At just over 7.5 pounds, it won't wear you down on a long day afield.
