Anyone have experience with the Browning Maxus? I want a shotgun that will for sure eject target loads for dove/quail and sporting clays, but be able to shoot heavy waterfowl loads as well. I hear the Maxus is at the top with the finest Beretta and Benelli offerings. Looking for reviews from folks here, $1200 is a lot to spend so I want some reviews.

I have a friend that has one and he likes it a lot. I am partial to benellis and the inertia system myself though. Never had a problem with ejecting target loads from my m2 or another buddy's sbe.

I own a maxus and love it. I have shot over a thousand of target loads through it and close to that with steel 3" or 3 1/2" loads. Everything from sub zero temps to 100+ temps, rain and snow to blowing dust and never once had a problem. Everyone in my hunting group has gone to them. I have quite a few shotguns and this is my favorite. I can't say a bad thing about Benellis. I just like the balance and feel of the Maxus better. I have witnessed a lot of Berettas jam in extreme conditions when the Benellis and Brownings never have. :twocents:

Good info guys, and thanks!.....I got one :tup: Cant wait to use it! It felt better to me as well over the Benelli and Beretta.

Nice! Shotgun fit is probably the most important factor in how a gun shoots for you. Hope you knock down a bunch of birds with it.

:yeah: I sure hope to!! I held it in my lap during Monday Night Football lastnight, bonding time is good.

You can’t go wrong with a Maxus. Just make sure that you shim it to fit you.
