The Browning brand enjoys legendary status and a global reputation built on its unrivalled quality, technological developments, and the brilliance of John Moses Browning, the company’s founding father who modestly summed up his talents as "one drop of genius in a barrel of sweat". This great adventure began in 1878, at his father’s shop in Ogden, Utah. Over the next 50 years, he went on to revolutionize firearms design, inventing the first semi-automatic shotgun, the over-and-under shotgun, as well as the semi-automatic rifle, and leaving an indelible mark on the history of gun manufacture. Today, Browning is flourishing and leads the outdoor gear industry in hunting and sports-shooting guns, advanced hunting wear, knives, safes and a whole range of other items for use outdoors. Browning International is part of the prestigious Herstal Group - their close working partnership delivers products that bear the hallmark of excellence from design through to manufacture, and are crafted with unequalled expertise.
