Browning Gold Hunter 3 1/2" Stalker 12 Ga Semi-Auto Shotgun, 28" Vent-Rib Barrel, Matte Black Synthetic
The Browning Gold Hunter 3 1/2" Stalker blends the company’s Active Valve gas system with a back-bored, Invector Plus 28-inch barrel, giving shooters reliable cycling and balanced handling in a lightweight package. Built on an aluminum alloy receiver and finished in matte black, this late-1990s/2000s autoloader represents Browning’s evolution toward today’s Maxus and Winchester SX3 designs. The Gold-plated trigger, black synthetic furniture, and 3 ½-inch chamber make this shotgun equally at home in the duck blind or the turkey woods.

The 3 ½-inch chamber gives you the option to run everything from light 2 ¾-inch loads up to heavy magnums, offering true all-season flexibility. Browning’s Active Valve gas system automatically adjusts to the pressure of each shell, tamping down felt recoil and promoting clean operation.
The 28-inch chrome-moly steel barrel is both back-bored to .742" and threaded for Invector Plus chokes, delivering consistent patterns while reducing pellet deformation. A vent rib with single brass-bead front sight offers a clear, fast sight picture in varied light.
Durable black synthetic furniture makes the Stalker variant weather resistant and easy to maintain. Molded checkering supplies a sure grip, sling studs come factory-installed, and a soft recoil pad rounds out the stock’s 14.25" length of pull.
An anodized aluminum receiver keeps overall weight down while retaining strength. The gold-plated trigger and cross-bolt safety are classic Browning touches that enhance usability without adding complexity.
With its proven gas-operated action, generous 3 ½-inch chamber, and thoughtfully designed synthetic stock, this Gold Hunter Stalker remains a dependable, field-ready semi-auto for hunters who demand versatility and reliability.
