Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Browning built its reputation in the autoloader world with the original Maxus, and the Maxus II keeps everything that made that gun a marsh favorite while cleaning up the details hunters griped about. The heart of it is still the Power Drive gas system, which cycles a wide spread of factory loads, from light field shells all the way up to 3.5 inch magnum goose loads, while soaking up a serious amount of recoil in the process. Add the 1.5 inch thick Inflex recoil pad and the SoftFlex cheek piece, and a long morning of shooting heavy steel stops feeling like a chore.
The second generation brought real, practical upgrades. Rubber overmolded panels on the stock and forearm keep your grip locked in when everything is soaked, and the oversized bolt handle and bolt release are a lot easier to run with cold or gloved hands. The trigger guard is ramped for quicker loading, and the composite stock can be shimmed for cast and drop or even trimmed to shorten the length of pull for a proper fit. Browning also swapped to a screw-on magazine cap after feedback from hunters and competitors who wanted the option to add an extension. Nickel Teflon coating on the bolt, shell carrier, and controls plus a chrome-lined chamber and bore mean this gun shrugs off the wet, muddy conditions Bottomland camo was made for.
This configuration runs a 28 inch back-bored vent rib barrel with a fiber optic front sight and ivory mid bead, a combo that swings smooth on crossing birds and picks up fast in low light. Capacity is 4+1, weight comes in right around 7 pounds 2 ounces, and the whole gun wears Mossy Oak Bottomland from butt to muzzle. Three extended Invector-Plus choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder cover timber ducks, field geese, and everything between, and it all ships in an ABS hard case that earns its keep on truck rides to the boat launch.
The Power Drive gas system is one of the better ones out there for running a wide range of ammo. It handles light field and target loads reliably while still digesting full-power 3.5 inch magnums. As with any gas gun, keep it reasonably clean and give it a box or two of shells to break in, and it should feed just about anything you put through it.
Yes, and this is one of the bigger upgrades over the original Maxus. The composite stock is shim adjustable for cast and drop, and it can also be trimmed up to 3/4 inch to shorten the length of pull. That makes it much easier to get a proper fit whether you shoot in a heavy parka or want it sized for a smaller frame.
It ships with three extended Invector-Plus tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. The Invector-Plus pattern is one of the most common choke systems around, so aftermarket options from Browning, Carlson's, Patternmaster, and others are easy to find if you want a dedicated waterfowl or turkey tube.
Between the gas operation, the 1.5 inch thick Inflex recoil pad, and the SoftFlex cheek pad, felt recoil is noticeably softer than what you get from inertia-driven guns of similar weight. Heavy goose loads still have some push, but the gas system spreads the impulse out so it feels more like a shove than a sharp kick. It makes a real difference over a long day in the blind.
