maxus

[Doctor Lecter]

anyone shoot or rate the browning maxus for clays ?

I have not shot one but a guy I shoot with swears by his.  I did some research on the Maxus and the Beretta but ended up with a Beretta, just because I found the right gun for me first. It could easily have been a Browning, but I was after a very good 2nd hand gun.

I have tried 2 different Maxus guns and did have a Winchester 'Fannygun' for a while. I found the piston a pig to clean on my Winchester and on both the Maxus guns, the forend was a bit loose, which I found offputting. Could not fault their shooting ability, but the Winchester always felt a bit Benelli like, when shooting. I weighed the Winchester in for a Beretta 303, in my opinion, a much better gun.

They're basically a restyled Gold.  A gun that just didn't hold up.  Yeah, fit and finish are fantastic, but they simply can't take the pounding that a target gun demands.  If you want a great semi auto, get any of the Beretta 300 series.

my dad bought one about 2 years to try clay shooting but the gun seems very clunky and is very light and also to clean is a pig.they are a nice gun for rough shooting but the berretta is a lot better which he traded the maxus in for.

Buy buy a bucket to keep it in after you have shot it ,two guys at Orston have had bits fall off them and nothing but trouble

buy an sx3 very similar but without the issues

I disagree.  All the same issues, but at a lower price.

never had any bits fall of mine?

To be fair, i've not used mine much but think it's great fun and works great with Hull Superfasts!
