grahamch Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Maxus all the way, low low recoil even with 2.25oz lead loads and speed load is really useful. Edited April 21, 2020 by grahamch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between the Wick Wings and the normal one mate? The price difference between the two is quite significant, with the Beretta being almost £800 more expensive.

Differences I can find: Aside from its phenomenal detailing, the Wicked Wing Maxus comes with a number of hunter-friendly features: a Cerakote finish, oversized bolt release button, Speed Loading system and an enlarged trigger guard for gloved fingers. 2 minutes ago, billytheghillie said: Ha Ha, come up here and try mine! Does the Franchi use (Beretta) Mobil chokes? That would be a bonus as I have a load of Teague after market extended ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm recoil sensitive due to a shoulder injury and honestly I stuck a 40g victory mini magnum through it and it was fine. 1oz loads there's literally no recoil. At just over £600 it's a great bit of kit. Put it this way, my missus has decided she's going to sell her 687 and order an affinity compact when the lockdown is over. Edit, the only problem I have is that although it's a light gun my whole right arm/shoulder tires extremely quickly, half a dozen maybe 8 and I'm done. Looking forward to the day I can take it for 100 sporting. Edited April 21, 2020 by Farmboy91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) The A400 plus is a way better gun, recoil reducer built in and there are two, oversized bolt handle and a raised rib. The berretta's even the black ones don't rust even on the salt marsh. good luck with your choice. I would handle both as the Maxus probably handles better than the A400.

I've handled the Maxus it's nice and light (surprisingly so) ... I have seen the A400 but not the new Xtreme Plus with the raised rib. Did you mean its better than the Maxus or the Franchi?

For quality it's definitely better than both I my opinion, they are engineered for fowling in harsh conditions, everything is coated to prevent corrosion. The barrel has supposedly been developed for steel shot to enhance patterns,but they all say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 We use the 400xp in Africa. The things fire over 2000 rounds a week with lots of dust and grit and are at best rarely cleaned. Unstoppable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
