The Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing delivers rapid follow-up shots and all-weather reliability for serious waterfowl hunters. This semi-automatic shotgun chambers 12-gauge shells up to 3.5 inches with a 4+1 capacity for extended shooting sessions. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh wetland conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Power Drive Gas System cycles faster than traditional gas-operated shotguns, handling everything from light 2.75-inch loads to heavy 3.5-inch magnums without adjustment. The Lightning Trigger System reduces lock time by 24% compared to standard triggers. Chrome-plated chamber and bore resist corrosion better than standard steel finishes, while the oversized bolt handle operates smoothly with gloved hands.
