The prices in Canadian dollars are approx $1416 for the stalker mondel to $1554 for the mossy oak duck blind model. I have decided to order one after all the good things many people are saying about this shotgun. Of course, my Remington 11-87 LC has never, ever let me down in any way, but I do love firearms and am greatly looking forward to purchasing this new Browning.

I own a Browning Bar Safari and I love it. However, I dont think that you should put your other flawlessly functioning shotgun away just because of the new Maxxus. Personally, I've owned a Remington 11-87 for years now which I paid approximately $800 Canadian dollars for and its been absolutely excellent for me. It doesnt have much recoil and it looks and feels great. Mine handles up to 3" shells and cycles different sized shells easily and flawlessly. For all the "little" frills that they brag about that the new Maxxus has, why should I put out another approx $1500 Canadian if my Remington is working great??

I got 1oz crappy Centurion shells that won't function in most autos and feed them through the brand new unfired Maxus. Sure enough it eat them up like anything else. If a brand new 3.5 gun can shoot that stuff and function it should do fine on a steady diet of Winchester Super X. Check out the videos on Youtube that compare muzzle jump of the new Maxus!

Own a few different shotguns including Benelli, Beretta, Browning, Remington, CZ and even Stoeger. Find the Beretta and Browning to be a pain to clean, Remington (1100) can be a pain as well. Receiver lock up in the Benelli's barrel isn't the easiest to clean either. Guess if the gun fits, shoot it. Almost all of my guns have failed at some point and to some extent, all for different reasons but none of them has "broke". We, as hunters and shooters, tend to buy expensive guns, decoys, clothes, boots, boats etc. and usually spend as little as possible on ammunition. This is where the failures on any gas, inertia, O/U, SxS or pump guns usually stems from, not the manufacturer of the firearm. Will probably pick up a Maxus as well, probably from someone committed to one of the other manufacturers friends, they are the ones that always have problems with guns and should be selling them at a discounted price, even though I never seem to run into them.

Looks pretty damn good to me all the same If it lasts as long as my A5 which I have been shooting for 40 plus years (thousands of rounds through it) I would be happy, but then I probably only have another 30 years of shooting left so why change :-). Hunting mate has had his A5 about 10 years longer than I, has not had to replace any parts in its life and I have only ever replaced I part which if I had proper welding expertise I could have repaired. GO Browning I say, and to you Bunnies who have never shot one, shut up until you try one. Is the Maxus FN Browning or just Browning USA.

When it comes to ducks, geese and upland birds I went out last fall and purchased a brand new Benelli - paid too much for something that failed one day when we were shooting skeet - less than 2 boxes of shells had been shot through the gun. When I returned it I followed my father's advice of "not buying what is suppose to be the best and too expensive but what you know works" and I bought the Browning BPS - I love it!! And I just ordered my husband the Maxus for father's day - I can't wait to get it for him!! And for $1600 in Canada it really isn't a bad price for the quality that I expect to receive. When it comes to Browning I expect this to last my lifetime or most of it!! My friend was given a Browning BPS when he was 12 and I wouldn't know how many thousands of shells he put through it and he just retired it for a Browning semi last fall...... buy what you know works everytime - don't settle for anything less than that!

At the same time, it feels like a bit of a putdown that some of us can't afford some of the nicer shotguns. I have a Browning BPS (for deer) that I love, but I don't have the $$$ to buy one of their auto loaders. It works and it's quality; and that matters to me. I have a Benelli Supernova for waterfowel for the same reason. It's ugly, and it's a little more work for follow up shots, but it would take a nuclear explosion for it to fail me. With that said, I have to admit that I'd love to be able to afford the Maxus--it's just not in the cards for me to own in the near future (and maybe not ever).

And furthermore, just because the military adopted it doesn't make it the best gun, but perhaps just the best price( in bulk ). SO, save your money boys, put it on lay-away so it won't hurt so bad and one day you to can have some real bragging rights.
