Design and build quality

The Browning name carries decades of firearms engineering, and this model reflects that lineage. The 3.5″ chamber allows the shooter to run magnum shells when elevated energy or extended range is required, while remaining compatible with standard loads for everyday shooting. The listing is for a Certified Used firearm, meaning each gun is inspected and graded to ensure very good to excellent condition and backed by a no-questions-asked return policy—an important assurance when purchasing a higher-value semi-auto.

Performance: Invector DS Mid-Range .557 Anaconda choke

Why that choke matters

The Invector DS Mid-Range .557 Anaconda choke tube is engineered to provide tighter, more consistent patterns than a plain bore at intermediate distances. For shooters who need one choke to cover clay targets, upland birds, or close-range defensive scenarios, this mid-range option reduces shot scatter while still allowing effective pattern spread. In practice this makes target acquisition and follow-up shots more effective across common engagement envelopes.

At a price point of $1499.99 for this Certified Used offering, buyers get a performance-focused semi auto platform with a premium choke installed and the confidence of an inspected, returnable firearm. View product details and pricing
