The Browning Silver Field 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun combines proven gas-operated reliability with modern camo patterns for serious waterfowl hunters. This 3.5-inch magnum-capable platform handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl magnums with consistent cycling performance.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Field features Browning's Active Valve gas system that automatically adjusts to different shell lengths and power levels, eliminating the manual adjustments required by many competing semi-automatics. The back-bored barrel design reduces pellet deformation and improves pattern density compared to standard bore dimensions. Chrome-lined chamber and bore resist corrosion from steel shot and harsh weather conditions.
Key Features
- Active Valve gas system cycles 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells automatically
- 28-inch back-bored barrel with ventilated rib for improved heat dissipation
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish resists scratches and corrosion
- Mossy Oak Bottomland synthetic stock won't warp in wet conditions
- 4+1 capacity with removable trigger group for easy cleaning
- Three Invector-Plus choke tubes included (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder)
- Inflex Technology recoil pad reduces felt recoil by up to 50%
Field testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F with various ammunition types. The 28-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for waterfowl hunting while maintaining manageable swing characteristics in blinds and boats. Synthetic stock materials resist impact damage and maintain zero shift in temperature extremes that cause wood stocks to expand and contract.
