Description
Every once in a while Browning dresses up a proven workhorse in something special, and the Maxus II Ultimate Maple is exactly that. This SHOT Show special takes the reliable Maxus II autoloader and wraps it in well-figured AAAA-grade maple with a deep gloss finish, then sets it against a satin nickel receiver with laser-cut scroll engraving and a jeweled bolt. It is the kind of gun that draws a crowd at the clays course before you ever pull the trigger.
What Makes the Maxus II Ultimate Maple Run
Underneath the pretty wood is the same Power Drive Gas System that earned the original Maxus its reputation. It cycles everything from light target loads to heavy 3 inch hunting shells while soaking up a noticeable amount of recoil, and the Inflex II pad takes care of what's left. The Lightning Trigger delivers the fastest lock time of any autoloading shotgun, which matters more than you'd think when a crossing bird gives you half a second to commit. Speed Load Plus, a magazine cutoff, and a chrome-lined chamber and bore round out the practical side.
Fit and Feel in the Field
The 28 inch vent rib barrel wears a gloss blued finish with a fiber optic front sight and ivory mid bead for a clean, fast sight picture. The close radius grip points naturally, and the stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, so you can dial the fit to your build instead of adapting your mount to the gun. At around 7 pounds it swings smoothly on clays but won't wear you out on a long upland walk.
A Field Gun Worth Showing Off
Browning ships this one with three Invector-Plus choke tubes (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder) plus an ABS hard case, so it's ready for doves, pheasants, or a weekend of sporting clays right out of the box. Guns like this don't come around every year, and the maple versions tend to disappear fast. If a gorgeous stock on a truly dependable gas gun speaks to you, this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shells can the Maxus II Ultimate Maple handle?
It has a 3 inch chamber, so it runs everything from 2.75 inch target loads up to 3 inch magnum hunting shells. The Power Drive Gas System is tuned to cycle across that whole range reliably, so light dove loads and heavy pheasant loads both feed without fuss. Capacity is 4+1 with 2.75 inch shells.
Does the Browning Maxus II Ultimate Maple come with chokes?
Yes, it ships with three Invector-Plus choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That covers most field and clays situations right out of the box, and the Invector-Plus system gives you access to a huge aftermarket if you want to add extended or specialty tubes later.
Can I adjust the stock to fit me?
You can. The gloss maple stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, so you can fine-tune the fit to your frame and shooting style. A properly fitted stock makes a real difference in how consistently you mount and break targets.
Is this a good gun for both hunting and sporting clays?
That's exactly what it's built for. The 28 inch vent rib barrel, roughly 7 pound weight, and soft-recoiling gas system make it a natural on the clays course, while the 3 inch chamber and included choke selection handle upland birds and waterfowl just as well. The Lightning Trigger with its fast lock time helps in both settings.
