Help Me Pick My New Shotgun

[Bill W]

The old Rem 870 express super mag, priceless.

I'm retiring my old 11-87 for this new shotgun.

If I were you I'd stick with the 11-87 unless you are after a camo finish shotgun.  I had an 11-87 and it seemed to have thin blue as it rusted easily and needed a frequent rub down.   I will add the Maxus is lighter than the 11-87 by around a pound.

All of those are reasons I'm going to a new shotgun.

Sx3 is what I have fits me very well back bored barrel nice gun .

Lighter shotguns gain value as a hunter gets older.  Those 8 lb guns get heavy after a while.   What little I've shot the Maxus it appears good.  Comes with stock shims to move the POI around a little and there's ones to lengthen the stock.   Barrel is .010 overbore from the traditional barrels and a Briley LM choke appeared to pattern 100% with T shot at 40 yards.  #2 and #3 shot also did good at 40 yards with the LM but more like a 70-80% pattern

I have one of those 11-87 as well and I swear I could watch it rusting in the blind (hunting coast)...I finally spray painted it camo and problem was solved...juts a tip

Pulled the trigger on a SX3 Waterfowl 3.5" max5 camo. $1096 out the door plus a $75 rebate. Thanks everyone

you will be happy you did! I love those guns!

Good choice!  I had a Browning Maxus, it wasn't worth the premium over the SX3 in my opinion.
