The Browning Silver Field delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for upland hunting and sporting applications. This 12-gauge shotgun combines proven gas operation with modern synthetic construction for consistent cycling in varied conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Field utilizes Browning's Active Valve gas system, which self-regulates based on shell length and power level. Unlike fixed gas systems, this technology automatically adjusts from light 2¾" loads to powerful 3½" magnums without manual intervention. The alloy receiver reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity under magnum loads.
Key Features
- Active Valve gas system handles 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells automatically
- Lightweight alloy receiver with black/charcoal bi-tone finish
- 26" barrel optimized for upland birds and sporting clays
- 4+1 capacity with drop-out trigger group for easy cleaning
- Vintage tan camo synthetic stock with textured grip panels
- Chrome-plated chamber and bore for corrosion resistance
- Invector-Plus choke tube system with three tubes included
Field testing shows consistent cycling across shell types, from light 1⅛ oz. target loads to heavy 3½" waterfowl rounds. The 26" barrel length provides optimal balance for upland hunting while maintaining sufficient velocity for sporting clays. Weather-sealed action components resist moisture infiltration during extended field use.
