rangey Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 hi every one,just joined this site and thought id give my veiws on my maxus.great gun,put a few hundred rounds through it now.it doesnt like 21/2 shells,doesnt feed and jams.but 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 no probs.very low recoil,fits me perfect out the box and im l/handed.looks good strips down in seconds and doesnt need a lot of cleaning.ive had all the top auto,s and this gun tops them all for looks and performance,..if your looking for a new auto give one a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Welcome mate I liked the look of the Maxus, but I found the pistol grip uncomfortable and the gun didnt fit me very well, even with the stock jacked right up Good luck with yours mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 did you look at the Beretta A400 before buying the Maxus?.I've tried them both but not at the same time if you know what I mean,i fancy the 26" barrels,30" must be real long gun especially in the hide?

JONO Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Took delivery of my Maxus yesterday and really chuffed with it. Hoping to put a few rounds through it later today. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm considering one of these. Really like the look of the A400 also but like Rangey I'd be worried about damage in the hide. I'll be waiting to try one out at the CLA before I buy though...even though my local shop has one and I'm out on the pigeons tomorrow! So tempting.....

rangey Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 hi,i would definatley try one out before buying anything else,ive had mine bout a month now and put a few rounds through it,about 500.and noprobs,the speed load is spot on in the confines of a hide,so much easier and quicker,fits and handles a treat.i know its early days yet,but so far its proving to be the best semi ive had.previously its been beretta or benelli,first browning ive owned.

originalgeezer Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I looked at buying a new semi auto today, my first one as only had experience of Over Under Shotguns. I looked at the AL391, AL400 and the latest Maxus plus a Benelli Comfort. I found that neither of the Beretta's could fit me well (shame as my OU is a Beretta so would have been a nice match up) I found the Maxus a very nice gun, handled well and attractive but my shock was that it almost fitted out the box but the Benelli just felt right even though its synthetic - something I really hadn't gone for. So all in I bought the Benelli Comfort 28in......but the Maxus was a very close call to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 In my usual impatient way I have purchased a synthetic maxus today. Great fit with the shim raising the comb slightly. Out on pigeons tomorrow so I'll loo forward to putting a few through it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
