For shooters who demand a semi-automatic that performs equally well on the sporting clay field, in the marsh, or on an upland flush, fit and function matter as much as reliability. A shotgun that balances low recoil, quick follow-up shots and intuitive handling gives you an edge when targets are fleeting and conditions vary.

BROWNING MAXUS II SPORTING CARBON FIBER brings those qualities into a single package. With the perfectly tuned Power Drive Gas System, the Maxus II is built to run across a wide ammunition spectrum while reducing felt recoil. The Lightning Trigger delivers the fastest lock time of any autoloading shotgun, promoting faster, more consistent follow-ups. Practical features include a new SoftFlex cheek piece paired with a 1-1/2″ Inflex Recoil Pad to tame the sting of 3-1/2″ magnum goose loads, plus overmolded rubber panels on the stock and forearm for improved grip in all conditions.

Field Performance and Recoil Management

On the range or in the marsh the Power Drive Gas System stands out — it cycles light target loads and heavy magnum shells with minimal adjustment and reduced felt recoil. That system, combined with the Inflex Recoil Pad and SoftFlex cheek piece, makes extended shooting sessions more comfortable and less fatiguing. The Lightning Trigger’s fast lock time reinforces tight shot-to-shot consistency, an important advantage when breaking clays or swinging on moving birds.

Ergonomics and Handling

The Sporting Carbon Fiber’s trim dimensions and excellent balance promote a smooth, natural swing. Redesigned stock and forearm geometry, plus the overmolded rubber panels, improve contact and control in wet or cold environments. Whether your discipline is sporting clays, waterfowl or upland hunting, the shotgun’s handling characteristics are tuned for quick presentations and confident follow-through.
