Description
There's something about vintage Woodland camo that just works, and Browning putting it on the Maxus II Wicked Wing turned an already great duck gun into one you'll catch yourself staring at in the safe. This SHOT Show Special pairs that throwback pattern on the composite stock and forearm with Burnt Bronze Cerakote on the 28 inch barrel and receiver, giving you real corrosion protection instead of bluing that gives up the first time you drag it through a wet marsh.
Why the Maxus II Wicked Wing Runs When It's Ugly Out
The Power Drive gas system is the heart of this gun, and it does two jobs well. It cycles a wide spread of loads reliably, from 2.75 inch practice shells up to 3.5 inch magnums, and it bleeds off gas in a way that noticeably softens recoil. Browning stacked comfort on top of that with the Inflex II recoil pad and SoftFlex cheek pad, so a long morning of goose loads won't leave you flinching by the third flight. Nickel Teflon coating on the bolt, bolt slide, shell carrier, bolt release, and bolt handle adds slickness and shrugs off moisture, while the chrome chamber and bore make cleanup after a muddy hunt a lot less painful. The oversized bolt handle and bolt release are a genuine blessing when you're running gloves in December.
Set Up for the Blind Right Out of the Case
Browning didn't skimp on the extras here. You get three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes for dialing in patterns on decoying birds or high passers, a fiber optic front sight with an ivory mid bead for fast target pickup in low light, and a rigid ABS hard case for travel. The stock can be trimmed up to 3/4 inch and shimmed for cast, drop, and length of pull, so getting a proper fit doesn't require buying a new buttstock. Add the crisp Lightning trigger and rubber overmolded grip surfaces and you've got a 12 gauge that's ready for the timber, the pit, or the layout blind the day you bring it home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Maxus II Wicked Wing cycle light target loads or does it need heavy shells?
The Power Drive gas system is built to run a wide range of factory ammunition, from standard 2.75 inch field and target loads up to 3.5 inch magnums. Like most gas guns, it may want a short break-in period before the very lightest promo loads run flawlessly, but once it settles in it's known as one of the most reliable autoloaders in the duck blind.
What choke tubes come with this Browning Maxus II Wicked Wing?
This model ships with three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes, which cover most waterfowl situations from close decoying birds to longer pass shooting. The Invector-Plus system is widely supported, so aftermarket tubes are easy to find if you want to expand your options.
Can I adjust the stock to fit me?
Yes. The composite stock is shim adjustable for cast, drop, and length of pull, and the straight heel design lets a gunsmith trim it up to 3/4 inch and refit the recoil pad for a shorter length of pull. That makes it one of the easier semi-autos to fit properly, especially if you shoot in heavy winter layers.
How does the Woodland version differ from other Maxus II Wicked Wing models?
Mechanically it's the same gun as the standard Wicked Wing, with the Power Drive gas system, nickel Teflon coated bolt components, and Burnt Bronze Cerakote metalwork. The difference is the vintage Woodland camo pattern on the stock and forearm, a SHOT Show Special finish that stands apart from the usual Mossy Oak and Realtree offerings.
