FreeZey Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm also thinking of getting one in the next couple of weeks, a few people recommended it in the semi-auto thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon123 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 My mate has one with a 5 shot magazine and it's a great gun. I've had a few goes on it and it swing's very nicely, it's light, and it doesnt have much recoil. My mate said that it's the easiest and fastest semi - auto to clean that he's owned ( he's had about 6-7 of the top brand guns ). I would love to own one with a synthetic stock (as i'm a rough shooter ), but as the price is quite steep for my pocket i will only be dreaming about it :lol: . I like my escort tough, it's cheap and cheerful, and a great gun for the money, but if i had the money i would buy a Maxus over it as it's in a totally different league compared to the escort :lol: . The benelli m2 is also a great gun for roughly the same price as the maxus ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer_pigeon Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I upgraded my Browning Gold S/A to a Maxus a few weeks back. I ended up with a slightly second hand grade 3 which i got for an excellent price. ligher to use because to the aluminium alloy body and shoots more or less the same as my old gold, it scored slightly better on clays and pigeons then the gold a doddle to clean afterward and minimum recoil so its easy to use on an all day session. proofed for steel as well as lead so yo ucan use it anywhere highly recommended, piccy below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i don't like those big lumps of rubber on the end of the butt. They must stick in the shoulder, horrible nasty things. Can you get one with a wooden butt plate?

chrispti Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) They must stick in the shoulder, They actually slip into the shoulder very nicley, the rubber is not over ''grippy'' at all At 40 seconds in, theres a short description on the recoil pad Edited March 16, 2011 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 great guns i`ve had mine for nearly a month now and i really like it . the only reason the recoil pad will catch is if the length of pull is too long for the shooter . i have 3 spacers on mine and it doesn`t catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikka tom Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 thanks for that now its finding a nice cheep one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 thanks for that now its finding a nice cheep one A cheap one? I suppose its not impossible but unlikely as they've not been available that long. Most people like them as far as I can tell, including me, so they are not going to be selling just yet. I paid £845 for mine which was a good price IMO. GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeZey Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I just got back from trying guns at Litts and have now changed my again lol I'm not going for the Maxus or the M2 Field which I was also considering, I found the best fitting gun for me was: BERETTA AL391 Urika 2 Synthetic Although I do also like the BERETTA A400 Xplor Light :\ but I'm pretty sure when I go back to decide at the end of the month I'll go with the Urika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony.D Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I had one and the only complaint that I had was that the but pad was 'sticky' when mounting. This was really noticable in winter due to a thick clothing layers. A local gunshop said some people put nail varnish on the pad to help. Otherwise no problems. The same gun shop asked if I had problems with jamming. Absolutely none. Also I've read complaints about the 'poor quality' camo finish. Mine was great.
