The Maxus II is Browning's gas-operated semi-automatic 12 gauge, here in Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage over the aluminum alloy receiver, 28-inch steel barrel, composite stock and forearm. The chamber is 3 1/2 inches, capacity is 4+1, length of pull is 14 3/8 inches, overall length is 49 inches, and the gun weighs 7 pounds. A fiber optic front sight, a SoftFlex cheek piece, overmolded grip panels and an Inflex 2 recoil pad come standard, along with Invector-Plus Extended chokes in Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder. The Power Drive Gas System cycles light and heavy loads and cuts felt recoil.

This is the Maxus II configuration for waterfowl and turkey, with the 3 1/2-inch chamber for magnum loads and a camouflage pattern made for marsh and wetland cover. New Mexico hunters who put in long days on ducks will appreciate the gas system's recoil reduction with heavy shells and the fiber optic bead in grey early light. At 7 pounds it also carries easily in the uplands with lighter loads.
