Browning Gold Hunter 3½" 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 24" Barrel, Invector-Plus Full Choke
Built by Miroku in Japan, this Browning Gold Hunter marries the company’s classic walnut-and-steel aesthetics with modern gas-operated engineering. A 3½" super-magnum chamber lets it handle the heaviest 12 Gauge loads, while Browning’s Speed-Loading system and magazine cut-off add field-ready convenience. The 24" vent-rib barrel is threaded for Invector-Plus chokes and currently wears a Full choke, making the gun a versatile choice for waterfowl, turkey, and other demanding pursuits.

What’s Included
- Browning Gold Hunter 3½" 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun with 24" vent-rib barrel and Full Invector-Plus choke installed
The gas-operated action absorbs recoil and reliably cycles 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells. Browning’s Speed-Loading feature chambers the first round directly from the magazine tube for quick starts in the blind, while a convenient magazine cut-off allows safe unloading without opening the action.
An aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight manageable, finished in a matte black anodizing that pairs cleanly with the blued steel barrel. The gold-plated trigger adds a signature Browning touch and offers a crisp break.
The gloss walnut stock and matching fore-end feature cut checkering for a secure grip. A 14.25" length of pull suits most adult shooters, and the single brass bead provides a simple, proven sight picture.
Designed as a bridge between the legendary Auto-5 and today’s Maxus line, the Gold Hunter delivers classic Browning styling with modern super-magnum performance in a collectible package.
