Slug guns get asked to do rifle work, and the Maxus II Rifled Deer is one of the few autoloaders truly built for it. The 22 inch thick-wall barrel is fully rifled with a 1 in 28 twist, which is right where sabot slugs want to be. Feed it quality sabots through a good optic and you have a legitimate deer setup that stretches well past what a smoothbore with rifled slugs can manage. Underneath it all is the same Power Drive Gas System that runs Browning's wingshooting models, so the gun cycles everything from standard 2 3/4 inch loads up to stout 3 inch magnums while taking a real bite out of felt recoil. Anyone who has spent a season behind a pump slug gun will appreciate the difference, both on the shoulder and on the follow-up shot.
The cantilever Weaver-style rail is attached directly to the barrel, not the receiver, which matters more than most folks realize. Since the scope rides with the barrel, you can pull the barrel for cleaning and your zero stays put. Mount a low-power scope or a red dot and you're set for the season. Browning's Lightning Trigger rounds out the accuracy story with a crisp, light pull and minimal overtravel, a genuine advantage when you're squeezing off a shot at a buck standing at distance.
The composite stock wears Browning's OVIX camo and features a close radius pistol grip with overmolded rubber panels that stay grippy with cold or wet hands. A SoftFlex cheek pad keeps your face comfortable behind the scope, and the Inflex recoil pad works with the gas system to tame heavy slug loads. The stock is shim adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, so you can tune the fit instead of adapting to it.
With a 4+1 capacity, oversized bolt handle and bolt release, and a weight right around 7.5 pounds, this is a slug gun that carries well, points fast, and shoots like it costs. For hunters in shotgun-only territory, it is hard to name a better autoloader for the job.
You can, but this barrel is built for sabot slugs and that is where it shines. Standard Foster-style rifled slugs will foul the rifling with lead and won't group as well. If you want the accuracy this gun is capable of, stick with quality sabot loads and let the 1:28 twist do its job.
Yes, and that is one of the best features of this setup. The Weaver-style rail is attached to the barrel itself rather than the receiver, so your optic and barrel stay paired. Pull the barrel, clean it, put it back together, and your zero is right where you left it.
It does. The 3 inch chamber and Power Drive Gas System handle full-power 3 inch magnum sabot loads as well as standard 2 3/4 inch slugs. The gas operation also softens recoil noticeably compared to a pump or bolt action slug gun, which makes practice sessions a lot more pleasant.
Most hunters run a low-power variable scope in the 1-4x or 2-7x range, which fits realistic sabot slug distances nicely. A red dot works well too if your shots stay inside 100 yards. Either way, pick something with good low-light performance since deer move most at dawn and dusk.
