The Browning Maxus II Hunter is a beautifully refined gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun built for hunters and sporting shooters who demand reliability, smooth recoil control, and classic field-ready styling. Released as a 2021 SHOT Show Special, the Maxus II Hunter enhances the proven Maxus platform with modern ergonomic upgrades and performance-driven features designed for faster handling and greater shooting comfort.

Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3″ chamber, this autoloading shotgun is ideal for a wide range of hunting and sporting applications, from upland birds to waterfowl and sporting clays. The 28″ barrel offers an excellent balance of swing stability and follow-through, making it especially well-suited for smooth target transitions in the field or on the range.

This model features a matte black anodized receiver with updated styling for a sleek, durable finish, paired with a satin-finished Turkish walnut stock that delivers both elegance and functionality. The close radius pistol grip improves control, while the shim-adjustable stock system allows shooters to fine-tune length of pull, cast, and drop for a personalized fit. Oversized controls, a ramped trigger guard for easier loading, and a lightweight magazine tube further enhance speed and usability in real hunting conditions.

Premium internal upgrades include Nickel Teflon-coated components for added lubricity and corrosion resistance, along with a chrome-lined chamber and bore for long-term durability.
