Browning Shotguns

The moniker of Browning shotguns belongs to two distinct lines of firearms: shotguns invented by John Moses Browning and the shotgun lines in the modern Browning arms company. John Moses Browning's two classic repeating shotguns, the Model 1887 lever action shotgun and the Model 1897 pump action shotgun, were years ahead of their time. Browning also designed the Browning Auto 5, a revolution in semi-automatic shotguns.

The modern-day Browning company produces a number of shotguns that maintain the Browning namesake for ease of use and reliability. Browning still produces the A-5 as well as a number of modern designs.

Today, Browning produces one of the widest varieties of shotguns, which includes semi-auto, pump action, double-barreled, and even bolt-action designs. Browning shotguns are favored by sportsmen across the United States.
