The Browning Silver Field delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunters demanding versatility in challenging conditions. This 12-gauge shotgun chambers both 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells, providing the flexibility to match ammunition to hunting situations without compromising cycling reliability.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Field features Browning's Active Valve gas system, which automatically adjusts to different shell lengths and loads for consistent cycling. Unlike fixed gas systems that require manual adjustment, this technology maintains reliable function across the full range of 12-gauge ammunition. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, while the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat pattern offers effective concealment in marsh environments.
Key Features
- Active Valve gas system automatically adjusts for 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells
- 28" barrel optimized for waterfowl hunting with improved swing dynamics
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish resists corrosion and wear

Field testing confirms the Silver Field cycles light target loads and heavy magnum waterfowl loads with equal reliability. The 28" barrel length provides the velocity needed for long-range waterfowl shots while maintaining manageable handling in blinds and boats. Weather sealing at critical joints prevents moisture intrusion during extended hunts in wet conditions.
