Design and materials

The Browning Maxus II Ultimate uses a Grade III walnut stock with an oil finish that offers a balance of durability and upscale looks. The nickel plated receiver with satin finish and scroll engraving resists corrosion while offering a refined presentation for competitive shooting or the upland field. These materials are chosen to hold up to repeated range sessions while maintaining a classic appearance.

Reliability and shooting characteristics

Power Drive Gas System

The Power Drive Gas System is central to the Maxus II Ultimate’s reputation for soft, consistent cycling. This gas system reduces felt recoil and ensures reliable ejection and feeding across a range of target loads—valuable for long days on the sporting clay course.

Lightning Trigger

The Lightning Trigger delivers a crisper, faster break than typical factory triggers, improving follow-through and target acquisition. For competitive shooters who count split-second performance, that trigger feel translates into more consistent patterns and quicker second shots.

Price and value

At a price of $1851.99, this shotgun sits in the premium autoloader segment. The combination of Grade III walnut, engraved nickel receiver, Power Drive Gas System, and Lightning Trigger provides tangible performance and cosmetic value for shooters who want a do-it-all autoloading shotgun in the Semi Auto category.
