The Browning Maxus II Camo 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, Auric, 28-Inch is a camo semi-auto aimed at waterfowl hunters who shoot 3-1/2-inch magnum loads, part of the Browning Maxus II line (Browning part no. 011752204). Browning designed the Maxus II around the Power Drive gas system, which cycles a wide range of loads, and a Lightning Trigger with a fast lock time. The Camo model is finished in Auric on the stock, receiver and barrel, and adds a composite stock with a SoftFlex cheek pad, overmolded grip panels and a thick Inflex II recoil pad. At 49-3/8 inches overall with a 28-inch barrel and a listed weight of 7 lb 2 oz, it is sized for a full day afield. Browning lists a hard ABS case with the shotgun.
