Description

The Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass is a purpose-built waterfowl semi-automatic shotgun that takes everything hunters loved about the original Maxus and makes it noticeably better. The 12-gauge platform runs on Browning's Power Drive gas system with a piston stroke tuned to reliably cycle the full range of 12-gauge loads, from light 2-3/4" practice rounds all the way up to 3.5" magnum shells without adjustment. The 28" back-bored, vent-rib barrel pairs with a fully chrome-lined bore and chamber, and the whole gun wears a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish on both barrel and receiver, a coating that outperforms standard bluing in terms of corrosion resistance. The composite stock is dressed in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo, blending naturally into the grassy marsh environments where this gun earns its keep.

What Makes the Maxus II Wicked Wing Different in the Field

The recoil story on this gun is genuinely hard to overstate. The combination of gas operation, a 1.5" thick Inflex II recoil pad, and a SoftFlex cheek pad works together to tame the felt impulse of heavy waterfowl loads to a degree that catches most hunters off guard. It is noticeably softer than inertia-driven competition. On high-volume mornings when shells are flying and birds are working, that comfort compounds over time. Your mechanics stay cleaner, your second shot gets on target faster, and you just stay in the game better. The Lightning Trigger, which Browning claims has the fastest lock time of any autoloader in its class, adds to that responsiveness. The bolt, bolt slide, shell carrier, and cocking handle all carry a nickel Teflon coating for added corrosion protection and easier field cleaning.

Built for Gloves, Mud, and Whatever Else the Blind Brings

The Maxus II Wicked Wing was clearly designed by people who have spent cold, wet mornings in a duck blind. The oversized bolt handle and enlarged bolt release are easy to work with heavy gloves on, and rubber overmolding on the pistol grip and forearm gives you a locked-in hold even when everything is wet. The ramped trigger guard doubles as a loading ramp to make slipping shells into the magazine faster and more comfortable. The stock is shim-adjustable for cast and drop, and the straight-heel butt section can be trimmed up to 3/4" to dial in length of pull. Three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes come included, and the screw-on magazine cap means aftermarket tube extensions are a straightforward addition for snow geese or high-volume situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Maxus II Wicked Wing handle 3.5" magnum loads compared to lighter shells?

The Power Drive gas system is tuned to cycle the full spectrum of 12-gauge ammunition reliably, from 2-3/4" light target loads all the way up to 3.5" magnum shells, without requiring any manual adjustment. The oversized gas ports vent excess pressure efficiently with heavy loads, while a longer piston stroke improves reliability with lighter ones. That versatility is one of the real strengths of a gas-operated platform like this one.

Is the Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing good for waterfowl hunting in wet or cold conditions?

It was built for exactly that. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish on the receiver and barrel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, and the nickel Teflon coating on the bolt and related components adds another layer of protection while making the gun easier to clean. Rubber overmolding on the grip and forearm ensures a firm hold even in rain, sleet, or mud, and the oversized controls are designed to be worked with gloved hands.

Can I adjust the stock fit on the Maxus II Wicked Wing?

Yes, the stock offers a solid degree of adjustability for a field gun. Included shims allow you to dial in cast and drop at the receiver, and the length of pull can be increased using the supplied spacers between the recoil pad and buttstock. The straight-heel butt section of the composite stock can also be trimmed up to 3/4" by a gunsmith if you need to shorten things up, after which the Inflex recoil pad re-fits cleanly.

What choke tubes does the Maxus II Wicked Wing come with, and can I use aftermarket chokes?

This model ships with three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The barrel is threaded for the standard Invector-Plus system, which means there is a wide range of aftermarket choke options available from both Browning and third-party manufacturers. The extended tubes are well-suited for steel and non-toxic waterfowl loads.

Can I add a magazine extension to the Maxus II?

Yes, and this was one of the notable improvements over the original Maxus. The Maxus II features a screw-on magazine cap on a threaded magazine tube, which allows compatible magazine extensions to be added. Winchester SX3 and SX4 tube extensions are known to fit, making it practical to run additional capacity for snow geese or other high-volume applications.

How does the recoil on the Maxus II Wicked Wing compare to inertia-operated shotguns?

Gas-operated shotguns generally soften recoil more than inertia designs because the gas system dissipates energy over a longer cycle, and the Maxus II takes that a step further with its 1.5" thick Inflex II recoil pad and SoftFlex cheek pad working in tandem. The felt impulse is noticeably reduced compared to inertia guns shooting the same loads, which adds up to real comfort advantage on long mornings with heavy waterfowl ammunition.
