The popular Browning Maxus II autoloader shotgun line includes updated features and new models.
Browning's latest offering in the shotgun market for 2021 is the brand new Browning Maxus II, an extension of the company's popular gas-operated autoloading shotgun line.
The new Maxus II is built on the same design and includes many of the same performance features found on the original Maxus, but the Maxus II is sleeker overall, making for a smoother swinging shotgun that points better.
The stock features a new recoil pad and SoftFlex cheek pad from Inflex Technology to soften felt recoil in the waterfowl and sporting models for extra shooting comfort. Rubber overmoldings on the grip and oversized controls make the Maxus II easy to keep ahold of and use, even with gloves on.
The forend and the magazine tube have also been redesigned to feature a traditional screw-on cap.
The Maxus II semi-auto shotgun is available in five models out of the gate. All variants includes the new cheekpad, and Inflex recoil pad, enhanced controls, screw-on magazine cap, new styling, rubber overmolding, and a ramped trigger guard.
They also retain the proven Maxus features including Browning's Power Drive Gas System, Lightning trigger, Speed Load Plus feeding system, and Invector-Plus choke tube system. Plus there's a nickel Teflon coating, a chrome chamber and bore, a magazine cut-off, a Turnkey Magazine Plus that makes limiting mag capacity for hunting easy, a lightweight magazine tube, a composite stock, and they all come in an ABS plastic case.
