The Browning Maxus II delivers rapid-fire reliability for waterfowl hunters and sporting clays shooters who demand consistent cycling with both light target loads and heavy magnum shells. This 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun features Browning's Power Drive Gas System that adapts automatically to different shell pressures without manual adjustments.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II incorporates Browning's Lightning Trigger technology with a crisp 4-pound pull weight, significantly faster than standard semi-auto triggers. The Speed Load Plus system enables lightning-quick reloads through an oversized loading port, while the enlarged bolt handle provides reliable cycling even with wet or gloved hands. These improvements deliver measurably faster follow-up shots compared to previous Maxus models.
Key Features
- Power Drive Gas System automatically adjusts to 2¾", 3", and 3½" shells
- Lightning Trigger system with 4-pound pull weight for faster target acquisition
- Speed Load Plus oversized loading port for rapid shell insertion
- 26-inch VR barrel with Invector-DS choke system (F, M, IC included)
- Composite stock with textured gripping surfaces and adjustable shims
- Enlarged bolt handle and oversized trigger guard for gloved operation
- Turnkey Ready system with pre-installed sling swivel studs
Field testing demonstrates the Maxus II cycles 2¾-inch target loads as reliably as 3½-inch magnums without gas system adjustments. The shotgun maintains consistent ejection patterns across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F. Competition shooters report improved split times on doubles, while waterfowl hunters appreciate the reliable function with steel shot loads. The composite stock withstands impacts and moisture exposure that would damage traditional wood stocks.
