Browning maxus

[Ryan137]

I'm looking to buy an auto loading shotgun and was looking at the maxus. Main use will be for clays but may see some hunting. Any thoughts on the maxus? I was looking at the carbon fiber sporting model. Also was looking at the versa max, any advantages of one over the other?
Budget is around 1300. Already have an 870 and currently shoot a bps for trap

I've never seen a Browning Maxus on any of the clay fields ( Sporting, Wobble trap, 5 Stand). Lots of Berettas and Benellis. For the amount of money you are looking to spend,check out the Berettas at Kittery, especially the A390 Sport and the 390 Sporting. Those are classic clay guns.

I use a browning maxus with a muller choke. Get it you won't regret it. Get a muller choke set as well. Just recently switched to an o/u but I still shoot the maxus. Smoothest shooting, low recoiling, most beautiful autoloaders I've shot. It's also super light. For autoloaders I'd put money where my mouth is claiming it's the best for clay games. Me and random person traded guns for a round of trap. It was a versamax. It kicked the shit out of my compared to maxus and didn't feel as smooth. It's also substantially heavier to me. Also the load first shell underneath feature rocks. It's also super easy to clean.

Take a look at a Remington Versamax and the Browning A5 as well. I did a bunch of research, and handled all three. Ended up with the Versamax.

Any problems with the fore end? I heard the wood ones loosen up

I am not a fan of Browning semi-auto, although a huge fan of their Over/Unders. Make sure you take a look at the update Beretta a400's, parallel stock if you want it for clays. We've got a couple of them on my jr team and they behave, easy to clean and function well.

 

[Ryan137]

The a400 is a little high for my budget but seems like one of the best choices

I love my 1964 1100.

 

[rep308]

Remington 1100 sporting is a great choice at $1100 new. Kittery has them used from time to time. Take a look at

www.ableammo.com

for the best prices and selection, I've bought from them before

 

[skeetshooter]

The foreend on every maxus is a little loose. But it's not a problem.

Ktp has one 97% with 26 inch barrels for 1125 http://www.ktpguns.com/firearm.php?...=Manufacturer&sortdir=asc&searchdata=&SeeAll=

 

[Ryan137]

I was working out the math and for Black Friday I can get one from bass pro for a little more then that. But just have to figure out if that's what I want before then.

 

[skeetshooter]

get the one from bass pro and order a 30 inch bbl model
