    What's Your Best Gun Deal Ever?

    My friend gave me a 1916 German Mauser that was picked up off a battlefield in France during WWI by the guy who gave it to him! All the serial numbers matched and everything! I'm not sure what it would sell for but it's priceless to me! Best "deal" was another friend selling me his unused...

    Benelli vinci or browning maxus?

    I have also taken several pheasants this year as well with the Maxus. I have always used my O/U before but heck, the Maxus is new and I wanted to play with it more! I have also appreciated the lighter weight!:D

    Benelli vinci or browning maxus?

    No regrets I recently faced the same question and went with the Maxus. I LOVE the Maxus and have no regrets regarding my choice! In fact, I have kept my O/U's in the safe for now and have been hitting very well on everything with my Maxus. So light, yet it can handle 1oz loads or 3.5's. I've...

    I let the action close w/o the barrel on

    Read the manual first. Sick about it. Just didn't have the proper purchase on it. Slowed it down though so just a little ding you wouldn't notice. Whew! I learned my lesson.

    I escaped with just the tiniest of dings (little camo came off)! Whew!

    I let the action close w/o the barrel on

    My manual on my Browning Maxus states explicitly to: "never allow the action to slam closed by pressing the bolt release button without the barrel installed. If the bolt is released forward with the barrel removed, the operating handle will strike the receiver and cause damage." well, when...

    Browning maxus 12 ga

    I've been dropping geese with mine with 3.5's and I have ZERO complaints about the recoil. Browning is claiming up to 18% less recoil and 44% less muzzle jump than competing autoloaders. (Check out the website for the graph). Now, who knows whether the Extrema II was tested against the Maxus but...

    Benelli Vinci

    I looked at the Vinci, have experience with the SBE II, decided on the new Browning Maxus. Looks matter to me in a non-military weapon, and while the "beauty" of the Maxus can't compare to my O/U's, it certainly fits the bill in a duck gun. I can't think of anything that would favor the Vinci...

    SBEII or Maxus?

    Hi Guys, I bought the Maxus and absolutely love it! I only was able to shoot a couple of boxes out of it before dark and a few 3.5's for "fun" but it seemed to find the clays "like a magnet" (as my friend put it) and it is just so lightweight, pointable and user friendly that...well, it's...

    SBEII or Maxus?

    Orphaned Cowboy, Thanks. Do you like the SBEII better or the Maxus? I'd have to get them side by side and I will when the Maxus comes in but they both seemed to fit pretty well. Just curious: "If I could only pick one..." Thanks everybody! Steve
