Penfolio Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm hoping that they're as good as they've been made out to be as I bagged one today at the gun show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TbirdX Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yes they do. I love mine and it's been faultless so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I went to look for a new semi on tuesday choice between the benelli supersport carbon fibre or maxus carbon fibre. Both were nice guns but the benelli fitted me better and is stunning to look at.And i can hit pigeons with it.This place i bought it from has still got the maxus carbon fibre in brand new might be to far for you to travel though. http://www.thecountrystore.co.uk/shotguns.shtml Edited February 25, 2012 by blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconer Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 thanks, do they come with shims to alter the comb etc like the beretta. Yes, they come wih the shims, stock extension, and a 1/2 choke barrel extension, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Theres a carbon one on here for sale.... and a very good price too http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/198277-browning-maxus-12-gauge/page__view__findpost__p__1696258__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I sold mine as I did not like; - The feel - It was to light for me - I could not get the stock (comb) high enough - Main gas spring snapped - Jammed occasionally Other than the above, the gun was nice and one of the softest felt recoiling and least muzzle flip autos Iv used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I love mine. It points and swings well. I do find it wont cycle Hull CompX 28g's though but no biggy for me as they are pansy carts anyway. Goes well with my Cynergy. It's also easy to clean, some can be a bit of a pig. Edited February 25, 2012 by danb21t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmicblue Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I had a 28" Grd3 for a year - it is a beautifully made gun and mine would cycle 24grm loads (I only shoot clays) happily. Having followed 'all things Maxus' for a couple of years it seems that some owners have problems and the majority don't. A great gun and very 'pointable'. So what did I part with it? I missed the crispness of a conventional shotgun as I became aware of all the noises as it cycled the spent case and chambered a new round and P/x'd it for a 425 as 2nd gun.

gemini52 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have a grade two,just use it on clays its very soft to shoot and to be fair its not gave me any trouble up to now its cycled any cartridge i put in, including 21 gram a really nice well made gun.

Tod Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) thanks for all the posts, been to euroguns today to try one and found it just a tad short in the stock, i know you get get extra shims to give it more length but i also found the recoil pad very grippy and sometimes snagged when mounting, having not gone claying for over a year due to pigeon shooting when ever i get free time i dont think i can justify getting one.
