The Browning Maxus II Hunter combines proven gas-operated reliability with refined hunting aesthetics for waterfowl and upland game pursuits. This full-size 12-gauge semi-automatic delivers consistent 3-inch magnum performance through Browning's Power Drive Gas System, cycling everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl rounds without adjustment.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II Hunter features Browning's Lightning Trigger system with a crisp break and fast lock time, significantly improving follow-up shot speed compared to standard hunting semi-automatics. The aluminum receiver reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the adjustable shim system allows precise fit customization without gunsmithing. The ventilated rib barrel design promotes faster heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- Power Drive Gas System cycles 2¾" to 3" shells reliably without adjustment

Field performance centers on the gas system's ability to handle diverse ammunition without cycling issues. The 26-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for waterfowl hunting while remaining maneuverable in duck blinds and upland cover. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and field conditions, while the Turkish walnut stock maintains its appearance through seasons of hard use.
