sunnyd9809 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi guys, Does anyone own a Browning Maxus and if so are they as good as they are made out to be?? I'm thinking of buying one when i go the the British Gun Show in Nottingham next month but would like some advice if you have any. Cheers, Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have a Maxus and I'm very happy with it. It mounts well, feels comfy to me, shoots where I point it, has cycled over 1000 carts so far without any mishaps, comes apart and cleans easy. I have heard that some have heavy triggers but I must have a good one because mine, imho, is just fine. If you are going to the shooting show then you will have the chance to try all the usual suspects so do just that and buy whatever you feel 'fits' you the best, whether Browning, Beretta or A.N.Other. You won't go far wrong with either a Browning or Beretta semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Go for it, if you want a semi auto. The maxus is one of the best. Speed loading is brilliant as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge007 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Mine is tiptop - cant fault it - get yourself one, not much out there that can rival it in my eyes (in terms of looks as ive not shot every semi!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good point Oscarsdad, speedloading is a feature I would find it very hard to live without on a semi-auto now I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini52 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 On my second maxus,the first one broke a spring which in turn done some damage to the action,browning replaced it with a new gun.The gun has been faultless it is a joy to shoot,had it out today on clays,yes i find the trigger pull a tad heavy but nothing to be concerned about,you wont go far wrong with a maxus if you decide to buy one,the only advise i would give you is to buy new some of the early ones did have problems with weak springs which i found out to my peril,the new ones have had the little niggles sorted out.

Cheers, Si great gun,jad mine over a year now and theres nothing out there ide swop it for.had one or two jams,but only when using shells less than 70mm.cant blame the gun for that as it clearly states 70mm or over,speed load is great especially in a hide.i had a problem with a broken spring in the gas piston after about 500 shells but browning replaced the whole gas piston within 4 days.apart from that happy days..

danimal Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 best semi auto on the market imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 personally didn't like it,didnt like the grip area and i thought it felt cheaper than an A400,just my view,weighed it up and bought a Beretta A400( but seeing as i don't suit brownings that not a surprise),i can't fault my A400.But TBH there isn't a bad New Auto out there,buy the one that feels the best and is the right price.

cleaner4hire Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Im no expert as Ive only just had the courage to take hold of a shotgun again recently but... I used one the other day for 4 or 5 hours and it was an absolute joy to shoot. So much so that im starting a maxus fund!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyd9809 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just an after thought. Would it be worth going for the 5 shot or stick to the 3??? You can tell i spent most of my shooting life with rifles!! ha ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krugerandsmith Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks lads, think i'll go with the majority...... Maxus it is. Bring on the gun show.... and hooters!!!! llf Cheers guys. sunnyd9809. Can not argue with the other posts ....Maxus is a brilliant shotgun however... while at the show take a look at the Browning Fusion ...same speed loader and if bought secondhand half the price.

Greenhunter Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Another plus point, it is easy to alter the stock length, cast and height of the stock to suit the individual without having to buy any extras. Mine cycles 2 1/2 carts I must be lucky GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
