Key Features

• Power Drive Gas System – Why it matters: This self-cleaning, dual-stage system cycles everything from light target loads to heavy magnums without adjustments, so you stay in the action.
• Lightning Trigger – Why it matters: A crisp, short pull reduces lock time, helping you break clays or tag game faster than most inertia guns.
• SoftFlex Cheek Pad & Inflex Recoil Pad – Why it matters: Combined, they cut felt recoil by up to 30% per Browning, letting you shoot longer with less fatigue.
• Back-Bored Vent Rib Barrel (26”) – Why it matters: Back-boring reduces pellet deformation and patterns tighter, giving you more consistent hits at range.
• Three Invector-Plus Choke Tubes & ABS Hard Case – Why it matters: You get Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder chokes out of the box plus a rugged case for safe transport.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is for waterfowlers, upland hunters, and clay shooters who want a reliable, low-recoil semi-auto that handles mixed loads without fiddling with gas settings. It’s also a solid choice for lefties—the safety and bolt release are ambidextrous.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Ultra-reliable gas system, soft shooting, fast trigger, comes with three chokes and a case, ambidextrous controls.
• Cons: The synthetic stock feels a bit slick in wet conditions—some shooters add grip tape or a slip-on pad. Also, the 4+1 capacity is standard but not extended.
