Maxus II Camo – Mossy Oak Bottomland

Since prehistory, hunters have covered their bodies and faces in materials to camouflage themselves from their prey. When you’re putting food on the table, you want as many advantages as possible. Combining both of these ideas, Browning has introduced the 12 gauge Maxus II Camo, which comes in a variety of patterns and offers a number of advantages. If ducks don’t have nightmares, they’re about to start.

Already a well-known name in duck blinds around the globe, the Browning Maxus ups the performance ante with a new moniker and a number of new features.

Maxus II Camo - Realtree Max-5

Built on the Power Drive Gas System, the Maxus II and Maxus II Camo are designed with duck hunting in mind. With all that auto-loading speed, Browning added the SoftFlex cheek pad and new Inflex recoil pad to keep the shooter in control. Rubber over-molding on the stock and forearm adds to that control. The stock can be trimmed or spacers can be used to adjust the length of pull. The bolt, bolt slide, shell carrier, oversized bolt release, and oversized bolt handle boast a Nickel Teflon coating. The new trigger guard is ramped to assist in loading the lightweight magazine tube. Put your shot where you intend to with a fiber optic front sight and the three included Invector-Plus choke tubes (full, modified, and improved cylinder).

    I’m sure it’s a nice gun, but if I’m spending 1800+ on a dedicated duck gun, it’s going to either be a sbe3 or an a400.

      @Tonka The A400 is hard to beat. As a side, and Im sure someone in the comments will want to spank me for saying this, but since Beretta bought Stoeger, the Stoeger 3500 series are really just "no frills" Beretta's. And as someone who owns and loves his Beretta shotgun (1301 Comp) my Stoeger 3500 is just as reliable.

      I encourage friends (and anyone else willing to listen) to try out and handle a sub $1000 Stoeger before grabbing a $2000+ Browning, Beretta or Benelli. Especially if they are new to the sport and dont plan on hunting everyday over the course of a season.

    I look at the price tag, and I just ask myself: Can someone really justify 1800 dollars on a waterfowl auto shotgun? Like seriously, I'm unacquainted with waterfowling. What makes a shotgun worth 1800 dollars?

      @Uncle Yar I don't think Browning maxus ever retailed near that price
