Browning Gold

[Carolina Boy]

Finally broke down and bought a new gun this weekend, got a Browning Gold with the new paint job. Any of you guys shoot this? I need to change out the front bead, any recomendations on a brand? I saw a lot of the magentic front sights.... will they hold?????

Keep it clean or else it will hang up. 3.5" shells tend to hang up not matter how clean it is.

PM bonehead, he shoots one. Shoots it pretty well too

I have one and you do have to keep it clean like any other gun, but 95% of the shot's fired through mine have been 3.5 steel and I have never had a hangup with them. I tried to shoot some light loads dove hunting one time and it wouldn't eject them

I have been shooting a Browning Gold 3.5 for 5 years with at least a case of steel through it every year. I could count on one hand the number of times it has hung up on me. I have never kept it particularly clean either. I give it one good cleaning after each duck season.

This past year I let one of the guys in our lease talk me into not cleaning it because he thought it would jinx our good luck. It looked terrible, covered with mud and it still was slingin them shells.

I cant speak for other folks, but it has been nothing, if not reliable for me.

I have a star dots on mine. I bought them for turkey hunting...but leave them on there year around.

Good luck with the new gun.

Shot thousands of rounds through my Browning Gold 20 in Argentina and it never missed a beat.
