I have been looking for a backup shotgun for upland and duck. My preference is a Maxus with 26" barrel with synthetic furniture. My local shop has a couple Maxus with synthetic furniture, 28" barrel for $1089 and when I inquired about ordering one with a 26" barrel the price was around $1300 due to new 2010 pricing they claim. They also told me they would make me a deal on the 28" ones in stock.
Now to throw another factor in I have a good friend trying to sell me his slightly used browning gold with synthetic furniture and 28" barrel for around $750.
I had talked myself into the 26" barrel for ease of use in the field and they swing better for me. I am up in the air if 2" is worth the price difference. (insert your own joke here).
I usually hunt upland with 7/8 or 1oz #6 shot. Will the gold cycle these?
I am interested in peoples experiences with both of these shotguns and their thoughts. I know there are other great semi autos on the market but I am set on my brownings.
Thanks
Jeff
