What’s Included
- Browning Gold Evolve 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The Gold Evolve uses a self-regulating, gas-operated system tailored for reliable cycling with 12 gauge loads. A cross-bolt safety and a magazine cut-off lever on the receiver add practical control features, and the 4+1 capacity supports typical field or range use. The chamber is 3 inches for broader load compatibility.
The 26 inch barrel is an Invector-Plus design with a vent rib and a matte, serrated rib top. It is threaded for Invector-Plus choke tubes and uses a front sight. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches to the recoil pad.
The alloy receiver wears a black finish with the Buckmark motif and "Gold evolve" marking, paired with a gold-colored trigger. The stock and fore-end are walnut with checkering for grip and a recoil pad for comfort. Overall finish is black on metal components for a clean, purposeful look.
Barrel markings read "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q., Made in Belgium – Assembled in Portugal," located just forward of the receiver, reflecting manufacture in Belgium with assembly in Portugal. This example dates to 2004.
