The Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing delivers reliable cycling and enhanced durability for waterfowl hunters facing harsh conditions. This semi-automatic shotgun features a burnt bronze Cerakote finish that resists corrosion while the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camouflage provides effective concealment in marsh environments.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II Wicked Wing incorporates Browning's Power Drive Gas System with enlarged controls for operation with gloves. The burnt bronze Cerakote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes, while the overmolded grip panels provide secure handling in wet conditions. The 3.5-inch chamber capability handles everything from 2.75-inch target loads to magnum waterfowl rounds.Key Features
- Power Drive Gas System cycles 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells reliably
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish resists saltwater corrosion
- Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camouflage stock with overmolded grip panels
- 26-inch barrel with Invector-Plus choke system
- 4+1 capacity (2.75" shells) with quick-loading magazine

Field performance centers on the gas system's ability to cycle various shell lengths without adjustment. The 26-inch barrel length balances swing characteristics for passing shots while maintaining adequate velocity for long-range effectiveness. Hunters report consistent cycling with steel shot loads from 1 1/8 oz to 1 5/8 oz payloads. The Cerakote finish maintains its appearance after exposure to saltwater environments.
