The Browning BT-99 is engineered as a dedicated competition shotgun, purpose-built for the demands of clay and trap disciplines. Its design integrates critical features to enhance pattern consistency, durability, and shooter comfort, establishing it as a reliable platform for competitive performance.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The 32-inch barrel incorporates Browning’s Vector Pro back-bored dimensions. This design minimizes shot deformation during bore passage, directly optimizing pattern uniformity, consistency, and density downrange. A high-post, floating vent rib integrates an ivory front sight and a mid-bead for rapid, precise sight picture acquisition. The barrel features a satin blued finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetic consistency.
Durable Construction
The BT-99 utilizes a satin blued steel receiver, engineered for robust operational longevity under high-volume use. The chrome-plated chamber provides enhanced resistance to wear and corrosion, essential for the thousands of shells processed in competitive shooting. An extractor-only system simplifies operation and ensures consistent spent shell removal without the added complexity of an ejector.
Ergonomics and Recoil Mitigation
The fixed black walnut stock is complemented by a bold beavertail forearm. This forearm design effectively distributes felt recoil across a larger surface area, mitigating shooter fatigue over extended practice sessions and competitions, while also aiding in precise firearm manipulation and hand-eye coordination. The stock is configured for right-hand shooters, promoting an ergonomic and stable shooting platform.
