As a new century and a new millennium dawn, one is momentarily given a unique perspective. It is a time to reflect on the past. A time to analyze present circumstances. A time to contemplate the future.

It is a bit overwhelming to look back at the accomplishments and innovations of the past century at Browning -- all firsts. The Auto-5 -- the very first semi-automatic shotgun ever. It brought about the birth of the Browning Arms Company. And among the new enterprise's first accomplishments were the Hi-Power, the BAR, the Superposed -- overwhelming.

Then, the world lost its single greatest firearms inventor.

But the spirit of John Moses Browning and his drive to improve, innovate and invent held on, and it is with more than a little pride that we look at where we stand today.

From a single, semi-automatic shotgun we have become a global power in the outdoor industry offering true innovation in not just firearms, but virtually every product area we enter into. The Gold: The world's first 3 1/2" gas-operated semi-auto shotgun. The BOSS: The world's most accurate out-of-the-box rifles. Hydro-Fleece: The most silent, waterproof, breathable outerwear available. And the list goes on as the selections below will attest. 

And as for the future? We will approach it one innovation at a time. Never stopping. Never slowing. After all, John M. Browning left us a legacy -- to make the products that you will be proud to pass on as a part of your own legacy.
