The Browning Maxus II Upland delivers rapid follow-up shots and superior handling for upland bird hunting with its proven gas-operated semi-automatic system. This full-size 12-gauge shotgun combines traditional aesthetics with modern reliability for hunters who demand consistent performance across varied terrain and weather conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Maxus II features Browning's refined gas system that cycles both 2¾" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment, eliminating the feeding issues common in other semi-automatics. The satin nickel aluminum receiver resists corrosion while reducing overall weight compared to steel receivers. The adjustable shim system allows precise fit customization for different shooters and shooting positions.
