The Browning Maxus II Hunter delivers exceptional reliability and performance for waterfowl and upland game hunting with its advanced gas-operated system and premium materials. This full-size semi-automatic shotgun features a 26-inch vented rib barrel optimized for versatility across hunting scenarios. The AAAA grade maple wood stock provides both aesthetic appeal and functional ergonomics for extended field use.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II Hunter incorporates Browning's refined Power Drive Gas System that cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment. The aluminum receiver reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity under heavy use. The adjustable shim system allows for precise fit customization, accommodating different shooting stances and clothing thickness that varies with seasonal hunting conditions.
Key Features
- Power Drive Gas System cycles all 12-gauge loads from 2¾" to 3" without adjustment
- 26-inch matte blued barrel with ventilated rib for improved heat dissipation and sight plane
- Matte black aluminum receiver reduces weight while providing corrosion resistance
- AAAA grade gloss maple wood stock with adjustable shim system for custom fit
- 4+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber capability for versatile load options
- Lightning Trigger System provides crisp, consistent trigger pull
- Speed Load Plus loading system enables faster follow-up shots
Field performance centers on the gun's ability to handle rapid follow-up shots during fast-paced waterfowl hunting or when flushing upland birds. The 26-inch barrel length provides optimal balance between maneuverability in tight cover and downrange performance for longer shots. Weather-sealed action components resist moisture and debris infiltration during harsh hunting conditions. The ventilated rib design reduces barrel mirage while providing a consistent sight picture.
