The Browning Maxus II VTAN 12 Gauge 3.5 inch semi-automatic shotgun is engineered for robust performance and operational reliability across demanding field environments. This platform integrates Browning’s proven gas-operation system with ergonomic enhancements, optimizing shooter interface and recoil mitigation for consistent application.
Key Features
Power Drive Gas System
The Maxus II utilizes Browning’s Power Drive Gas System. This system is designed to cycle a wide range of shotshells, from light target loads to heavy 3.5-inch magnum payloads, while effectively reducing felt recoil. The system’s design minimizes carbon fouling, enhancing reliability and extending intervals between required cleaning.
Construction & Materials
The receiver is precision-machined from lightweight aluminum alloy, ensuring durability without incurring excessive weight. The 26-inch barrel features a chrome-lined bore for corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, paired with Browning’s Back-Bored Technology to optimize shot patterns. The Versatile Tan (VTAN) finish provides a low-signature, durable protective layer suited for varied outdoor conditions. The composite stock and fore-end are designed for resilience and maintainability.
Ergonomics & Handling
Ergonomic improvements include an oversized bolt handle and bolt release, facilitating positive manipulation under pressure or with gloved hands. The Inflex II recoil pad system is integrated to further reduce felt recoil, contributing to faster follow-up shots and improved shooter comfort during extended sessions. Stock spacers are included to allow for length of pull adjustment, facilitating optimal shooter fit.
Barrel & Chokes
Equipped with a 26-inch barrel, this configuration balances maneuverability with effective pattern delivery. The barrel incorporates Browning’s Back-Bored Technology for consistent, dense patterns and is threaded for Invector-Plus choke tubes, with a full complement of F, M, IC tubes typically included to adapt to diverse shooting requirements.
