The Browning Maxus II Ultimate delivers lightning-fast cycling and enhanced reliability for waterfowl hunting and sporting applications. This semi-automatic shotgun features a 26-inch barrel optimized for 12-gauge 3-inch shells, providing exceptional versatility across hunting scenarios. Advanced gas operation ensures consistent performance with loads ranging from light target rounds to heavy waterfowl magnums.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II Ultimate incorporates Browning's refined Power Drive Gas System, cycling 27% faster than the original Maxus design. Speed Lock forearm technology eliminates play between the forearm and barrel, enhancing accuracy and reducing vibration. The Lightning Trigger system provides a crisp, clean break at approximately 4.5 pounds, while the enlarged bolt handle and bolt release offer improved manipulation in cold weather conditions.
