The Browning Maxus II Sporting delivers lightning-fast cycling and tournament-level reliability for competitive clay shooting. This full-size semi-automatic shotgun handles both 2¾" and 3" shells with equal precision, making it a versatile choice for sporting clays, skeet, and trap disciplines.
What Makes This Different
The Power Drive Gas System sets the Maxus II apart from standard semi-automatics by reducing felt recoil while maintaining consistent cycling across all shell lengths. The aluminum receiver keeps weight down without sacrificing durability, while the ventilated rib provides superior heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. Competition shooters report 25% faster follow-up shots compared to traditional gas-operated systems.
