Shotguns Descriptions

Browning Maxus Hunter

MAXIMUM RELIABILITY. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. Real-world reliability is the most important feature any manufacturer can build into a firearm. Thats why it was the first priority when we set about developing the Browning Maxus. The Power Drive Gas System is designed to perform under harsh hunting and shooting conditions with a wide array of loads. But reliability isnt the whole story. The Maxus delivers 18% less felt recoil for greater comfort, 44% less muzzle jump for more accurate follow-up shots, 19% faster bolt speed and 24% faster locktime than the nearest competitor. Unequalled reliability and features, all found in the finest, most reliable gas-operated autoloader ever to swing on a bird.

Franchi Instinct Catalyst

The Italian tradition and craftsmanship of the Franchi Instinct series, fully re-imagined in an innovative, affordable, 12-ga. over & under built specifically for women. Like its sister, the Affinity Catalyst, our Instinct Catalyst's stock has been redesigned with a drop, cast, pitch, length-of-pull and grip length that better aligns with a woman's body. Red, fiber-optic front sights put eyes on target quickly and confidently, with a calssic, A-Grade satin walnut finish that just looks right, as well. Much more than just a shorter stock dressed in pink, this is a shotgun that immediately feels right in the hands and on the shoulder of today's female shooters.
