B525 LIGHT Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Browning have temporarily stopped making the Maxus. Just until they catch up with their orders. There isn’t a huge choice of models available in the UK or Belgium at the moment sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an all rounder the A400 or the Maxus would be my choice for a true all rounder with wildfowling as part of the mix having 31/2” chamber. If you don’t want to shoot 31/2” carts the Benellis are a fabolulous gun and a lot better finished than most including the Maxus. The Franchi are made by Benelli but not the same gun. My choice would be made up by what I would shoot most of. If clays a Benelli SuperSport hands down Better than others can also do double duty for pigeons and fowling with 3”. i have the super sport figgy it my favourite all time auto nice and light easy cleaning, just got a set of flush chokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the inertia operating system with old shoulder damage was kicking me around so my m2 went in favour of gas operated. I still prefer the Benelli simple and easy cleaned when they need it.

The Heron Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have just bought a new benelli m2 fantastic semi- auto but like most semi -autos it does not like hull cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Very long gun. Does it fit your cabinet and gun slips ? i bought a Benelli Super Sport 30” it just fits in my cabinet and bought slip for it through a forum member. I was surprised just how long a 30” semi auto is compared to a 32” over and under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Mmmmm....my new purchase will only ( just) fit one of my slips so may have to buy another, or use my drag bag, which is ok for transportation but not much cop for general lugging around the shoot.
