The Browning BT-99 Plus Maple is a single-shot trap shotgun with a 34" barrel, polished blued finish, and a gloss AAAA grade maple wood stock. The longer 34" tube, versus the 32" version, adds a bit more swing weight and a longer sighting plane, which some trap shooters prefer for the steadier track it provides on crossing targets.

Detailed Features
The adjustable comb allows each shooter to set stock height for proper eye-to-rib alignment without shimming or bending. The high-post floating rib keeps the sight picture clean and consistent between shots. The Extended Midas Grade IM choke threads into the Invector-Plus system and can be swapped for other Midas Grade constrictions. The Pachmayr Decelerator XLT pad absorbs recoil effectively, a real consideration when running through competition rounds.
Target Audience
Built for serious trap shooters who want a purpose-built single-shot with a premium wood option. The 34" barrel length and 8 lb. 7 oz. weight suit shooters who prefer momentum-assisted swing over a lighter, faster-handling gun.
Usage Scenarios
Competitive trap is where this gun lives. The longer barrel, adjustable comb, and padded buttstock make it well-suited to sustained tournament and practice use. It works in recreational clay settings too, but the single-shot format is a deliberate constraint for trap, not a limitation to work around.
