Dominicrobed Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi Next month Im going to buy a new browning maxus I will be using it for pigeon shooting and maybe clays , but I think my wife will be using it more for clays than me. I was just wondering if anyone could recomend one to me ? I like the sporting carbon fibre , the standard and the camo infinity. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 They're all good, I have a grade 2 hunter, suits me, but you won't go wrong with any of them. Buy the one you like the look and feel of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattw Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Personally I would avoid the camo one. To me it would be a bit like dating a supermodel and forcing her to only wear a burkha. They also never seem to have held the price as well as a more standard gun... Matt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Brilliant thanks. I must admit Im liking the carbon one. There's your answer. I'd try the 26" barrel first if you're used to handelling a 28" gun normally ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I very nearly bought a carbon version before I needed a new bathroom roof 😖 Are you aware that the carbon version doesn't have the feature where you can change the cartridge? Didn't matter to me really, will still be my first choice for a semi when I have the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've got the carbon fibre one , it's a beast of a gun especially for clays , the carbon finish is quite a head turner at the grounds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemini52 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I have a grade 2 hunter shoots like a dream,you wont go far wrong with any,but for resale stay away from the camo. Edited August 8, 2012 by gemini52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thank for all the replys , im now not after a camo one ! Think im swaying for the carbon one. But then again I like the standard lol got a few weeks to make up my mind. Is the changing of the cartridge a good feature ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Iv wanted a maxus for a while, but I'm not sure I could get on with the weight ? There very light even in wood (witch is the one I shot, a grade 2 I think) Iv had a couple of browning silvers over the years and like the build and the speed load of browning autos. Also the stocks are quite short,also there seems to be alot of second hand ones about witch makes me a bit twitchy. but saying all this I STILL WANT ONE !!! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedClayBreaker Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 My wife bought a a Grade III Maxus which is great & the timber on the stock & forend is stunning! She gets on really well with it & after a session on the clays with it I went out & purchased a Composite Maxus, can not fault either of them so far. I went for the 28" barrels as this is still a little longer in the barrel than my Beretta, I have to put a butt extension pad on mine due to having leg arms but not a problem, also very easy to strip & clean. Would of gone for the Carbon Fibre but the composite came up at the right price. Like others have said you won't go wrong with any of the Maxus range.

pboro shot Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 ive got the synthetic stock version does the job ,speed load is good ,ive never used the cartridge select lever in the field but could be handy i suppose,quick release shoulder strap fittings are handy if you walk about with gun , i thourght about a camo version but when i saw one changed my mind look like tat the wood version looks alright but dont really like wood stocks on modern looking guns overall the gun ticks all the boxes for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
