The Browning Maxus II in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland (part no. 011742204) is a 12 gauge semi-auto built for the duck blind and the timber hole. Browning chambers it for everything through 3.5-inch magnums and drives it with the Power Drive gas system, which soaks up recoil and cycles the heavy waterfowl loads that punish lesser autoloaders. A 28-inch barrel with three extended Invector-Plus choke tubes covers decoying birds and passing shots alike, while the composite stock with its close-radius pistol grip keeps control positive in gloves. For hunters comparing serious semi-auto shotguns, the Maxus II is the full waterfowl package in head-to-toe camo.
