Whether you prioritize reliable follow-up shots in thick cover or a versatile platform for mixed-bag hunting, a lightweight autoloading shotgun that can handle four shells and adapt to different shot patterns is a practical tool in the field. This review breaks down the features that matter to hunters and sportsmen who demand consistency from a semi-auto designed for real-world use.

BROWNING SILVER

Key features and build

The BROWNING SILVER is a family of four-shell capacity autoloading shotguns offered primarily in 12-gauge, with a single 20-gauge model available for shooters who prefer reduced recoil. It comes with camouflage-patterned synthetic stocks suited to a variety of hunting environments, maximizing concealment where it matters. The ventilated barrel rib aids rapid target acquisition on moving birds and game, and interchangeable chokes let you tailor shot patterns for close woodsy work or more open-field shots.

Performance: 12-gauge vs 20-gauge

12-gauge applications

The primary 12-gauge configuration is the most versatile choice—ideal for waterfowl, upland game, turkey, and a broad range of field conditions. Its capacity and autoloading action provide quicker resets between shots, which is critical for follow-up opportunities. The ventilated rib improves sighting for fast targets, while the synthetic camo stock resists moisture and abuse in the field.

20-gauge considerations

The available 20-gauge model appeals to shooters seeking lower recoil with a lighter package. It still benefits from the same autoloading reliability and interchangeable choke system, so patterning and range control remain flexible.

Chokes and customization

Interchangeable chokes are a practical feature on the BROWNING SILVER. Swapping chokes lets hunters tune point-of-impact and spread without changing ammunition, giving you the ability to optimize for dense brush, tight chokes for longer shots, or open patterns for close-range flushing birds.
